# com::ptr
A wrapper for a COM object that can be used as a member of a CLR class. The wrapper also automates lifetime management of the COM object, releasing owned references on the object when its destructor is called. Analogous to [CComPtr Class](../atl/reference/ccomptr-class.md).  
  
## Syntax  
  
```  
#include <msclr\com\ptr.h>  
```  
  
## Remarks  
 [com::ptr Class](../dotnet/com-ptr-class.md) is defined in the \<msclr\com\ptr.h> file.
