C++/CLI supports the const and static const keywords of standard C++ as well as the new literal keyword. A literal is equivalent to static const in standard C++ and Microsoft's documentation recommends to replace static const with the new literal keyword because a leteral is available in metadata; a static const variable is not available in metadata to other compilers.

You can use static const within the class declaration or locally within a method. However, literal is only valid in the class declaration section and const is only valid within a method.

The .Net framework offers a static method in the string class: String.IsNullOrEmpty.

C++ is a hybrid language and as such offers global functions and class methods. A function must come before it's usage or you can prototype the function.

C++/CLI performs implicit casting of numbers to strings. To concatenate two strings, a string to an integer, or a string to a floating point number, use the + operator. For example, to convert a floating point number to a string just concatenate an empty string to the number as in "" + 3.2.

C++ supports static methods and static member fields using the static keyword.

Use the inline keyword to tell the compiler to inline a routine.

Use any report writer you are comfortable with. C++Builder 2009 comes bundled with Rave Reports and Crystal Reports remains popular for Visual C++.

In C++ you use the class keyword to signify a class and a colon followed by the parent class name for inheritance.

Same as C++ and Java. C# logical operators:

You can use any of the many free and commercially available installation packages.

In Visual Studio.Net, you can create a Setup and Deployment project by using any of the templates available on the New Project dialog (Other Project Types).
