Are you saying that from C++/CLI you are unable to use the extension method like the way you used it in C#?

C++/CLI won't support extension method and you can't use it like in C#

I'd like to trust you, but is there a documentation which confirmes your statement?

I'm a little confused because of the supportage of the "ExtensionAttribute

which is nicely descriped in tis cp article[^]!

But if you take a look at C++/CLI's standard, you will not find anything related to extension method. And a search on the web also tells the same.

What it doesn't understand is to look for this specific attribute and show the method as an extension. This is simply because it is not implemented in the compiler.

It was a good read. Thanks for the link.
