Indeed, this is specified here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/958x11bc.aspx[^].

Apparently, use one or another. It's not clear why would you use old syntax. This is to enabled old dreaded no-good Managed Extension. This is, essentially, about the version of C++ which was never a standard, some temporary attempt of Microsoft prior to introduction if ECMA-standardized C++/CLI. No wonder "Managed Extension" version has been deprecated. Use C++/CLI syntax. Please see:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C%2B%2B/CLI[^],
