Cannot convert from 'cli::array<Type> ^' to 'cli::array<Type> ^'

C++ CLR, in Visual Studio 2010 (C++).

I have this struct:

value struct Triangle{
    static array<int>^ v = gcnew array<int>(3);
    static array<int>^ t = gcnew array<int>(3);
    static array<int>^ n = gcnew array<int>(3);
};

and I declare the following in "private" section of my class:

static array<Triangle^>^ triangles = gcnew array<Triangle>(MAX_POLYGONS);

I get this error and I have no idea what it means (because it seems to contradict itself):

error C2440: 'initializing' : cannot convert from 'cli::array<Type> ^' to 'cli::array<Type> ^'
         with
         [
             Type=Triangle
         ]

Evidently it doesn't like the struct. Should I be using ref instead of value? That produces a lot of pointers. Any push into the correct direction would be appreciated.

You just have an extra hat (^) in your statement. It should read:

static array<Triangle>^ triangles = gcnew array<Triangle>(MAX_POLYGONS);
