The C++/WinRT language projection
C++/WinRT is an entirely standard C++ language projection for Windows Runtime (WinRT) APIs, implemented as a header-file-based library, and designed to provide you with first-class access to the modern Windows API. With C++/WinRT, you can author and consume Windows Runtime APIs using any standards-compliant C++17 compiler.

Building C++/WinRT
Don't build C++/WinRT yourself - just download the latest version here: https://aka.ms/cppwinrt/nuget
If you really want to build it yourself, the simplest way to do so is to run the build_test_all.cmd
script in the root directory. Developers needing to work on the C++/WinRT compiler itself should go through the following steps to arrive at an efficient inner loop:
- Open a dev command prompt pointing at the root of the repo.
- Open the
cppwinrt.sln
solution. - Build the x64 Release configuration of the
prebuild
andcppwinrt
projects only. Do not attempt to build anything else just yet. - Run
build_projection.cmd
in the dev command prompt. - Switch to the x64 Debug configuration in Visual Studio and build all projects as needed.
