I am learning C++ .net programming and was wondering why the code for creating a messagebox is [CODE=C#]MessageBox.Show("Hello, World!");[/CODE] in C# and [CODE=C++]MessageBox::Show("Hello, World!");[/CODE] in C++. Why is the dot substituted with a double colon in the C++ code? My source: [url]http://msdn.microsoft.com/nb-no/library/z9w2f38k[/url]
