C++ and XAML app in Windows Phone 8

Question

Hi,

From reading articles about XAML in Windows Phone 8 seems to part of .NET (managed code) while in Windows 8 XAML is native. Does this mean that I cannot use C++ with XAML to develop an app on Windows PHone 8, am I restricted to use C# + XAML?

thanks

Does this mean that I cannot use C++ with XAML to develop an app on Windows PHone 8, am I restricted to use C# + XAML?

That is correct.  XAML can only be used with C#.  C++ can be used for a WinRT component used by the C# project.
