[UWP][C++]Consume C# from C++/CX Store apps

Question

Hi team,

Is there a way to consume C# lib in a C++/CX Windows store/UWP app? if yes, can you please share your thoughts on how to achieve it?

Thanks!

Answer 1

What type of app are you writing?

As you've been asked several times before, please title your post per Guide to posting: subject line tags .

That said: yes, you can write a Windows Runtime Component in C#.

Answer 2

Apologies, just went through guidelines, will title it properly.

We've a C++/CX based store app and we're converting it to a UWP app.

We thought it'd be great if we can use C# libs and consume them from our C++/CX app. That said, I see we've 2 options.

1. Class lib template

2. WinRT component

I believe if we write a WinRT component, we can use it our app (irrespective of the programming language that it's built with).

Is that correct?

thanks!

Yes. Your c++/CX UWP app could add C# windows runtime component reference.
