"Loader lock" problem with Managed C++ (VC 7.0, 7.1)

Anyone doing work with managed C++ dlls should check out this article.

Currently, I'm waiting for Visual Studio 8 (Whidbey) before messing around too much with managed C++, among other things such as a fix for the above problem, managed C++ is supposed to get a less-horrible syntax (a new type modifier similar to *, ^, which denotes a gc object handle (as in System.Blah something^ = ...), and no more __underscores required for almost every single managed declaration).

Maybe then will I considered c++ with managed extensions.  Right now it just looks like the most horrific language/idea ever devised.

Why use bad syntax when you don't have to?
