I am always amused when a C++ programmer, who is going to be using .Net, 
says they have to change compilers and then mentions they will be using 
C#. Are you aware that a C++ implementation for .Net already exists 
called C++/CLI and that you can directly used Boost code using C++/CLI 
in mixed mode programming under .Net ?
