1The code is in Microsoft's proprietary language C++/CLI (or whatever it's called this month), not C++. – molbdnilo Apr 13 '21 at 14:38

That's the hat operator (aka handle to object operator) and is applicable for Microsoft's C++/CLI and C++/CX C++ language projections which is used to denote
that the declared object should be automatically deleted when the system determines that the object is no longer accessible.
It uses reference counting to keep track of when to be freed by the garbage collector.
