I read this book:

Pro Visual C++/CLI and the .NET 2.0 Platform
Author: Stephen Fraser
ISBN: 1590596404

Amazon link:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1590596404/ref=pd_sim_b_4/102-5516256-1968957?%5Fencoding=UTF8&v=glance&n=283155

I found the first third a little to basic for me, but the rest of the
book was excellent and shows how C++/CLI can do everything C# and VB.NET
can do. It may be a bit difficult if you are a complete newbie, but if
you have some experience with basic C++ or C#, it will be pretty
straightfoward.

On another note, if you are a complete newbie, it might be best to learn
standard ISO C++ first, so you don't get confused with what is
standard C++, as opposed to the C++/CLI extensions within .Net. I think
this is an important distinction to keep in mind early on.

www.codeproject.com is always a good place to start, though I have to say
that if you are interested in .NET technology you often need to browse
through C# articles since there are relatively few articles yet on C++/CLI.
Translating C# articles is C++/CLI is not so difficult. This will greatly
expand the number of usefull articles for you.

for actual C++ language things one of my favorite books is still 'the C++
programming language' by stroustrup.
another good book is scott meyers' 'effective C++' which shows you a good
number of C++ good practices and gotchas.

Amazon has some books that handle C++ 2005 but I haven't read any of the so
I can't comment on those.
