Ok, I just wanted to see how many technologies I could get into the title of a blog post ;-)
This one really falls into the category of ‘just for fun’. I wanted to experiment with writing a custom WinRT component in C++/CX and then try using it from .NET and JavaScript Metro style apps as I haven’t really had a chance to try out anything much in C++/CX just yet although I do have an old (and rusting) background in C++ and I’ve also written some C++/CLI in my time and I believe there’s commonalities between those two things even though they serve very different purposes (i.e. CX == native code, CLI == managed code).
