Creating a Windows Runtime in-process component sample (C++/CX)

This sample shows how to create a component in C++/CX that's used in C++/CX, JavaScript, and C# client code.

The OvenServer project contains a runtime class named Oven, which implements an IOven interface and an IAppliance interface and shows how to declare properties, methods, and events.

Also, the sample shows how to use the RoOriginateError function to report an error and an informative string to an attached debugger.

The ProxyStubsForWinRTComponents_server project produces a DLL named Microsoft.SDKSamples.Kitchen.dll. The ProxyStubsForWinRTComponents_server project is built into the Visual C++ component extensions (C++/CX) project by including the generated header file, Microsoft.SDKSamples.Kitchen.h. The ProxyStubsForWinRTComponents_server project and its corresponding proxy/stub project are referenced directly in the provided JavaScript and C# projects.

You can implement an in-process server by using C#. For more info, see Creating a Windows Runtime in-process component sample (C#).
