Appendix E. Visual C++ component extensions
Visual C++ component extensions (C++/CX) constitute the set of language extensions that enable you to directly interface Windows Runtime and native C/C++ code. As I showed you in Chapter 8, “Image processing,” you can build such C++/CX components for complex operations (like image processing) and to reuse existing code and libraries. Typically, you create C++/CX component as a Windows Runtime component or a DLL, which is then referenced by the UWP project. In that project, you invoke methods from the C++/CX component in exactly the same manner as you would with any other UWP assembly. In this way, C++/CX provides an access to native programming, while giving you an opportunity to use modern elements ...
