Feature Request: Port to .NET for Windows 8 Store Apps #33

Open Mrks83 opened 11 years ago

I would appreciate it if there would be a port of the existing library to .NET for Windows 8 Store Apps. Are there any plans in this area?

We're just using PInvoke which according to this, http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8881335/pinvoke-in-metro-apps-with-windows-8-winrt, should in theory work fine in windows metro apps now. Have you tried it and if so what error messages are you getting? I don't have win8 so not going to be too much use at the moment.

This is related to #33, which like that requires generating unmanaged assemblies that target windows runtime rather than the standard Visual C++ runtime.
