Sample C#
String[] sTemp = new String[1];
sTemp[0] = "hello world";
produces
  IL_005d:  newarr     [mscorlib]System.String
  IL_0062:  stloc.1
  IL_0063:  ldloc.1
  IL_0064:  ldc.i4.0
  IL_0065:  ldstr      "hello world"
  IL_006a:  stelem.ref

Managed C++
Source:
String * saMails[] = new String*[1];
saMails->set_Item(0, new String("hello world");
produces:
  IL_0008:  newarr     [mscorlib]System.String
  IL_000d:  stloc.3
  IL_000e:  ldloc.3
  IL_000f:  ldc.i4.0
  IL_0010:  ldsflda    valuetype $ArrayType$0x14f3579d

  IL_0015:  newobj     instance void [mscorlib]System.String::.ctor(int8*)
  IL_001a:  callvirt   instance void
[mscorlib]System.Collections.IList::set_Item(int32,

object)

Question: Am I wrong saying this? If so, what options do I need to set or
what code style change do I need?

Got one clue already to use the S prefix for strings
C++

saMails->set_Item(0, S"Hello World");
IL:
  IL_000c:  ldstr      "Hello World"
  IL_0011:  callvirt   instance void
[mscorlib]System.Collections.IList::set_Item(int32,

object)

STILL why does C# use this:
  IL_000a:  ldstr      "Hello WOrld"
  IL_000f:  stelem.ref

while C++ uses this
  IL_0011:  callvirt   instance void
[mscorlib]System.Collections.IList::set_Item(int32,

object)

Egbert,

Because that's what you're telling it to do. You are using the Item property
of the Array class directly, which is inherited from IList; hence the call
to IList::set_Item. If you were using array syntax, it would do the same as
C#:

String * saMails[] = new String*[1];
saMails[0] = S"hello world";

 IL_0003:  newarr     [mscorlib]System.String
  IL_0008:  stloc.0
  IL_0009:  ldloc.0
  IL_000a:  ldc.i4.0
  IL_000b:  ldstr      "hello world"
  IL_0010:  stelem.ref

Thanks,
for some strange reason, it did not work but now it does...
