Hello people, got a little time studying managed c + + on the intention to develop for the platform. Net. I have devoted much time to study the language c + + in order to study c + +. Net but after a few days I noticed things that left me unsure about the future of c + + / cli. During my contact with c + + / cli using Visual Studio. NET noticed a certain disregard of Microsoft with respect to community c + + / cli. She simply did not provide IntelliSense for c + + / cli in visual studio 2010.
Although there are solutions developed by third parties IntelliSense many people were unsure about the future of c + + / cli. Many feel that this is the first step to a future discontinuation of c + + / cli part of microsoft.

What do you think of this? Is that the same c + + / cli in danger of being discontinued?

The only reason to use C++/CLI is to implement managed/unmanaged code interoperability. C++/CLI is used to write managed wrappers for unmanaged code. It is much more flexible and powerful than another interoperability technology - PInvoke. This is the only language that allows writing mixed managed/unmanaged code.
For every other task, use whether C# or native C++.

I hate C #, in my opinion is a cheap imitation of java. Admire. NET platform but I think the C # language a joke, clone of java. Not in vain that the project was CodName KillerJava. I am a fan boy and creating C + + C + + / CLI is great for C + + programmers, because in it the opportunity to enter the world, net without having to abandon our language of the heart. At least I see it that way.
I know c + + / cli is more in jobs that require using mixed code. But I intend to use it tb pure and mixed when necessary.
Why use another language to C + + provides everything I need, native code, mixed and pure managed.

But my question was not answered.
There are rumors that the c + + / cli is suffering from boycotts by microsoft which indicates a future discontinuation.

Is there such a risk?
