I have no idea how wx.NET API is comparable to the traditional C++ code
compared to the Managed C++ stuff .. Also Managed C++ does not run 
portably (unless you run your VM inside Wine) ...

Also from all I know , Managed C++ is a proprietary compiler and produces
a non-public format output code . The rumour mills say that it generates
a bit of x86 code ,so moving across platforms might be really hard.

It does , but I don't think you'll be able to run Managed C++ code on
non-MS VMs.

But just like any  other C++ program , you can compile your app with
Managed C++ to get something that MS calls a .NET executable (though 
I can't say that's revolutionary).

Generally speaking you don't need wx.NET to use wxWindows with MS's 
Managed C++ compiler.

But still, it's a good demo for wxWindows as a whole :)
