    No. In C++/CLI, a standard conversion is chosen by the compiler over a conversion that requires boxing.

    The provided example shows an overload taking char being selected instead of an overload taking int^, because the char path uses a standard conversion and the int^ path requires boxing.

    Hello Anish,

    Yes. Standard conversions apply globally across all items as a default. Intra-class conversions are defined at the product level for units within the same unit class. When Dynamics processes a transaction for a specific product, it looks for product-specific conversion rules first. If an intra-class conversion exists for that item, it overrides the general standard conversion rule. If none is found for the item, it falls back to the standard conversion.
