What does the caret (‘^’) mean in C++/CLI?

by

This is C++/CLI and the caret is the managed equivalent of a * (pointer) which in C++/CLI terminology is called a ‘handle’ to a ‘reference type’ (since you can still have unmanaged pointers).

(Thanks to Aardvark for pointing out the better terminology.)
