B.1. C++/CLI reserved words

`abstract`	`for each`	`interior_ptr`	`ref class/struct`
`array`	`gcnew`	`literal`	`safe_cast`
`delegate`	`generic`	`nullptr`	`sealed`
`enum class/struct`	`in`	`override`	`value class/struct`
`event`	`initonly`	`pin_ptr`	`where`
`finally`	`interface class/struct`	`property`

B.2. The types of classes and structures in C++/CLI

Keyword	Domain	Default access	Equivalent	Used by
`class`	native	private	class in C++	value, native pointer or reference
`struct`	native	public	struct in C++	value, native pointer or reference
`ref class`	managed	private	class in C#	managed reference
`ref struct`	managed	public	class in C#	managed reference
`value class`	managed	private	struct in C#	value
`value struct`	managed	public	struct in C#	value

B.3. Operators for pointers and references in C++/CLI

Operation	Native Code	Managed Code
Pointer definition Pointer dereference	*	^
Reference definition Address-of	&	%
Member access	->	->
Allocation	new	gcnew
Deallocation	delete	delete (calls Dispose)

Char	wchar_t
Boolean	bool
Byte	unsigned char
SByte	char
Int16	short
UInt16	unsigned short
Int32	int, long
