boost::asio for windows runtime / winrt

Question

Hi,

do someone know if there is something ongoing to support Windows Runtime over boost::asio?

Answer 1

Generally, you can use any native libraries, but for some one specific, I believe you need to ask this from the author, Boost http://www.boost.org/.

Answer 2

i mean boost asio for Metro apps.

Answer 3

If you're asking is there something like boost::asio coming from Microsoft that is built on Metro api, then no, not in the Dev11 time frame. Otherwise, Chrubim_Lee is entirely correct. Ale Contenti had a talk on this at //Build: http://channel9.msdn.com/Events/BUILD/BUILD2011/TOOL-789C
