STL String^ and gcnew

In 2005 documentation, article "STL.NET Primer", by Stanley B. Lippman. The first SLT example shown begins with:

vector<String^> ^svec = gcnew vector<String^>;

I have tried this. I get the error:

error C3699: '^' : cannot use this indirection on type 'std::vector<_Ty>' with

[

_Ty=System::String ^

]

compiler replacing '^' with '*' to continue parsing

So... whats up Is the above going to be supported When Any suggestions as to what I should do Or, have I missed some needed compiler/linker option

STL.NET is not part of the Visual Studio 2005 final release product. As it wasn't ready in time for RTM it was pulled. You can find it in Beta 2 Team edition

As for its release, I think that Microsoft would have to have a beta program for it (as a separate download) before any release could take place. Once that occurs, and feedback comes back in, we'll have a better idea of when it will be released.

Thank you. I read the posts of that link. (Sorry I was unable to find it prior to my own post.) I'll just sit back and wait.

I plan on becoming an ISV when my program is a little further along. If not part of released product by then, I'll pick it up then, as I understand I will have access to team when I am accepted as an ISV.
