Hi Klynt,

AFAIK, the gcroot is used to wrapped an managed object in a unmanaged
object(class), but the code of gcroot<...> declaration should be compiled
as managed code, for the gcroot copy constructor needs to create a new GC
handle and use managed types and call managed functions.

Thanks!

Best regards,

By the way, do you mean is it possible to declare a static managed member
in UNMANAGED object(class) and instance it
like the following code snippet:

class UnManagedClass {
public:
   CppClass() {}

   static gcroot<String*> str;    
};
..
UnManagedClass::str = new String("Hello");

Then I think you will get the LNK2020 : unresolved token error while
compiling the above code, if you still monitor this thread and have concern
on the problem, please reply this message and I will contact the
corresponding support specialist for you.

Thanks!
