In C++, this is the bitwise XOR operator. See http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/operators/

Be aware that in C# it has another usage.

The bitwise XOR (exclusive or) operator (^) also takes two integral operands. For each bit position, the result is 1 if either but not both operands contain 1; otherwise, the result is 0.

result = b1 ^ b2;

Or C++/CLI

Edit:

Logical XOR.

Follow the C++/CLI link.

The That is from it is C++/CLI^[1] not C++. It is a "handle" to a .net reference type.

I seem to be having a bad day constructing sentences.
