__gc?

[FlyBoy]

what it used for?
for e.g:
String __gc * input = Console::ReadLine();

i've tried:
string * input=console::readline();

and it works just fine...so why the __gc is there( im taking this from a book that i read)

gc stands for garbage collection ( part of the .net framework ) , here's msdn's explanation ... __gc
here's msdn's link to all the C++ Keywords ... C++ Keywords
hope it helps
