I installed the Whidbey preview on a VPC virtual machine at the weekend, hoping to check out the new features, but they don't seem to be implemented in this build. via [Cook Computing]

Can anyone confirm if the C++/CLI extensions are in the PDC bits? My initial attempts to compile Foo^ f = gcnew Foo(); have failed, but for all I know I may just be missing a command-line switch. Brandon Bray just confirmed to me that the PDC bits "did not include much support for the C++/CLI syntax....the earliest implementation will be the Whidbey beta."
