C++ with XNA?

[staticgerbil]

Hi guys,

I'm just wondering if anyone has done any XNA using C++, specifically for the Xbox.

I've had a bit of a read over the net about using Managed C++ to use the XNA libraries but everything I find from MS only talks about C#.

I have found some people saying that they have Managed C++ working with XNA but I've seen no real evidence that it works on the Xbox.

At the moment I'm not going to fork out $99 just to find out for myself and was wondering if anyone here had tried this?

Afaik XNA is for C# only and if you want to code something for XBox, you can just do it in C# and XNA! So no need of C++

If you want Code something in C++ or whatever, you can take a look to SlimDX or better to the newer SharpDX which supports even DX11.

Thanks for the reply

I'll check out those links later on today.

Tbh I'm pretty busy these days and I'll probably never get around to doing more xbox code.  I just got a little excited when I came back here and saw nino was doing some XNA.

The only reason I want to use c++ is that I have a decent amount of c++ code that I would love to just drop in a folder and re-use.

I can probably do it with some heavy macro use
