I guess it will require even more code on the generic user-control to wrap around the custom WinForm so it reacts properly to its events.

Conversion between array<String^>^ and const char *const* and back

String^ str = "Hello world!";
IntPtr p = Marshal::StringToHGlobalAnsi(str);
char *nativeString = static_cast<char*>(p.ToPointer());
Marshal::FreeHGlobal(p);

const char* native = "hello world";
String^ managed = gcnew String(f);

For your example, the marshal_context methods are probably most appropriate, then you can leave RAII to clear up the HGlobal stuff internally.

why does C++ need another type of string for each new string? after all, a string is a string.

It seems C++ offers more string types than I have strings in a typical app. Just wondering why that is.

I have done in C# but do not know how to do it C++/CLI
