You create a mixed mode CLR module, using C++/CLI, where you can have 
both CLR constructs ( classes etc. ) and C++ standard constructs ( 
classes etc. ). In your C++ standard classes you can use Boost just as 
you normally would in standard C++.

In your CLR class methods you can instantiate objects of standard C++ 
types, as well as your own types, and manipulate them. You can not, 
however, have an object of a standard C++ type as a member variable of a 
CLR class.
