snydeq writes "Novell has announced MonoTouch 1.0, a commercial SDK that allows developers to build iPhone apps using Microsoft's .Net Framework instead of the Apple-designated C or Objective-C languages. The SDK leverages Novell's Mono runtime for running Windows apps on non-Windows systems, allowing developers to utilize code and libraries written for .Net and programming languages like C#. With MonoTouch, the Mono runtime provides such developer services as garbage collection, thread management, type safety, and Web services, said Mono leader Miguel de Icaza."

    Managed Extensions to C++ is old.
    Newer versions of .NET have C++/CLI now.

    C++/CLI is great for interop with legacy applications that will not interop via web services or COM.
    I created a wrapper library in C++/CLI that wrapped .Net class libraries I wrote in C#. In this c++/CLI library, I exported functions as C functions using the stdlib calling convention. This allowed a lot of legacy applications on Windows to interop with .net libraries.

    Never, a Libertarian is just a greedball Republican who smokes pot.

To be wise, the only thing you really need to know is when to say "I don't know."
