Templates are obviously a feature of the C++ compiler. VC++ 8 (which will ship with the .NET Framework 2.0) does support templates. VC 7.x do that to a very limited exent only (You can have certain function templates with managed signatures). I meant C++ compiler.
No. I meant adding a .NET implementations of the operations of filesystem. E.g. implement find_first_file/next_file/close in terms of System::IO::Directory::GetFiles() and not touching anything else.
This can be compiled to managed code only (as can the current Windows implementation). I just don't think it does buy you anything. May be you right.
