C++ Equivalent to VB Casts
The closest equivalent to the standard VB casting macros (CType and the corresponding CInt, CStr, etc.) are calls to the System::Convert methods if the appropriate method exists, otherwise they are converted to the safe_cast operator in C++/CLI. The behavior of both the System::Convert methods and safe_cast are subtly different from the VB casting macros though, so you should always test the behavior of your converted C++ code. In native C++, the closest equivalent is static_cast.
The VB TryCast operator is converted to the C++ dynamic_cast operator.
