What means ^ symblos in Visual C++?

[molavec]

That's it the question. I've never seen this symbol and I haven't been able to find this symbol.

array<String^>^ dir = Directory::GetDirectories( folder );

Thanks in advance!!

IIRC, that's the symbol to specify a pointer.

It's a 'managed' pointer (ie garbage collections) in CLI/.NET
