String^ name; is nothing but managed string specially used in VC++.NET, i.e. can be used when "/clr" s provided in the settings. It is operated as a simple string except the fact that it is a pointer to string or the object that it is being referred to.

This is not C++, this is managed C++. If you want to code in pure C++, forget about it.
