C++/CLI is not an exception. C++/CLI follows the .Net philosophy and 
rules regarding the construction of objects, not the C++ philosophy and 
rules, as I pointed out in another post on this thread. Because of that 
it is not necessarily apropos to use .Net as a basis for discussion of 
constructor philosophy in C++, although .Net's reliance on properties 
and events does have an anology to work that has been done with C++ 
lately, and does affect how one thinks about constructing and using objects.
