Does anyone know (with confidence either way) if Microsoft plans on continued support (as in compiling) the legacy (2003) deprecated (vs2005/vs2008) Managed C++ (MC++) Syntax to target the .NET CLR in C++ code?

Microsoft officially deprecated the /clr:oldSyntax with the VS2005 C++ Compiler (Orcas); and thankfully the VS2008 C++ compiler still supported the /clr:oldSyntax switch.

But will the C++ Compiler with VS2010 still support it? Or will the release of VS2010 finally break the backward compatibility with the /clr:oldSyntax?

I need to know before VS2010 is released for project planning scheduling and can’t find the official word on the MSDN site or MVP sites?

    It seems to be supported – see VS2010 beta 2 documentation for /clr.
