converting from .NET03 to .NET05

I need help converting this from C++.NET 2003:

Random r;   //r is a random object
r=new Random();  //create the object

into a format that will be acceptable in C++.NET 2005. The current error I get is:

Error1 error C2582: 'operator =' function is unavailable in 'System::Random'

Thanks guys!

Random ^ r;
r = gcnew Random();

What the ****?  Man, I've been away from C++ for too long. 

C# is just so much cleaner, but I'm now afraid that it may be melting my brain! 

Yeah this is part of the new C++/CLI standard. It will be an official ISO standard now so this is the way to do C++/CLI stuff.

Here are some videos on C++/CLI.

BTW, Since this is now a standard, it should be available in all C++ tools in the near future.

You sense the power of the dark side... 'gcnew'looks Managed!

This will tell you everything you need to know to port VS2003 C++ programs to VS2005 (VS2005 MSDN needed):
