I get the following error when I try to compile the example with mixed managed & unmanaged code. cl.exe /clr /Zi mixed_case1.cpp Microsoft (R) C/C++ Standard Compiler Version 13.00.9466 for .NET Framework Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation 1984-2001. All rights reserved. mixed_case1.cpp mixed_case1.cpp(4) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'string': No such file or directory

  I ran into the same problem. I think what may be the case is that the SDK has these header files missing, where as the Visual Studio environments do not. That is a shame.

  As I answered him in email, those header files like string and such are normal, ordinary C++ header files that have nothing to do wth .NET. Of course, they would not ship with a *free* .NET SDK. They ship with a pay C++ compiler as expected.
  
  That is teh point of the sample - to combine ordinary unmanaged C++ you have before .NET came around with managed code.

  This is no error with the sample. I just re-compilled to make sure:
  ----- Rebuild All started: Project: Mixed2, Configuration: Debug Win32 ------
  
  Deleting intermediate files and output files for project 'Mixed2', configuration 'Debug|Win32'.
  Compiling...
  Mixed2.cpp

  String is the C++ Standard version of the String class as opposed to <string.h> which is the "old version. You either have something wrong with the way your VS.NET C++ directories are set up or its something with V1 of VS.NET. I am using VS.NET 2003 (Everett). I can see if I can did up an old copy of V1 but it should work the same way.
  
  It's there for me:
  C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Vc7\include
  
  I just checked and it's there in VS.NET 1.0 too. You need to set up your directories correctly:
  C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET\Vc7\include
