title: Can C++/CX simplify my (non-WinRT) WPF application?
body: <p>C++/CX seems to make interfacing native C++ with C# FAR easier and more direct than the current method using a C++/CLI 'layer' in-between (with all the complications that entails).
   But can I use C++/CX OUTSIDE WinRT in a old-school WPF Desktop-style Application?
  Clarification: My WPF App 'wraps' an older Windows32 Application code. So I'm interopting with native c++, but it's awkward having native c++, Managed C++ and c# all in the same application..</p>
