Will Windows 8 Metro support managed c++/cli

Question

I can't seem to find an answer to this question anywhere, but will metro support managed c++ ?? Right now in Visual Studios 2012 RC it does not (in Metro only).

I have some frameworks written in c++/cli and wanted to port them to Metro. I know c++/cx is similar, but my c++/cli objects derive from ones written in C# and it would suck to have to rewrite that part of my system (but ok if I do, I just need to know where to go from here).

If there are plans to support it when Windows 8 actually comes out, I can wait. Or if not I would like to know now so I can get to work on porting.

Answer 1

C++/CLI is not going to be supported in Metro as you can see here: Windows Metro Forums
