[Doxygen-develop] Re: Doxygen and C++/.NET

[Jason M. <jm...@cs...>]

Thanks for the response, but not exactly what I'm looking for. Maybe my 
question was not clear (... or you choose to answer it differently, 
which is fine :-) ). I'm looking to *use* Doxygen to create 
documentation for code written in Managed C++ and the upcoming C++/CLI. 
I'm not trying to compile Doxygen to work on the .NET platform, although 
that is cool.

With the exception of your email, no one as responded to my original 
question. So I assume no one as used Doxygen with Managed C++. Thats a 
pity. But I think Doxygen should support the upcoming C++/CLI. There is 
no doubt, it will be used significantly on the Windows platform.

Thanks, anyway.
