Hi
Trying to learn c++ and am woundering over afew things
1) What is the diffrence between . and -> and :: ?
2) Why do you sometimes have to use ^ after declaring a object, what exacly
does it do?
3) What is the diffrence between & and *? (I know that * is a pointer)
4) Managed and Unmanaged code, whats the diffrence?
I am trying to write a simple class:
when i compile i get the following error:
Error    1    error C3265: cannot declare a managed 'mId' in an unmanaged
'PatryManager::Party'   
Error    2    error C3265: cannot declare a managed 'mName' in an unmanaged
'PatryManager::Party'   

class Party
    {
    public:
        Party();
        Party(String^ id);
        void NewId();
        ~Party();
       
    private:
        String^ mId;
        String^ mName;
    };

Party::Party()
    {
    }
Party::Party(String^ id)
    {
        mId = id;
    }
Party::~Party()
    {
        // Destroy objects       
    }

void Party::NewId()
    {
    Random^ mRandGenerator;
    int tempId = 0;

    String^ mTemp = String::Empty;
    char mLetterA[1];
    char mLetterB[1];
   
    tempId = mRandGenerator->Next(1000,9999);
    mLetterA[0] = (char)mRandGenerator->Next(1,25);
    mLetterB[0] = (char)mRandGenerator->Next(1,25);

    mTemp = tempId.ToString() + mLetterA[0] + mLetterB[0];
    mId = mTemp;
    }
