我们可以在Windows Phone 8的XAML中编写或调用“ C代码”吗？

Question

Can we write or call "C code" in XAML for Windows Phone 8,

i'm having C library and i have to use it in WP8 application. any idea..

Answer 1

Yes you can - but you have to link it against a C++ project. What you need is a WinRT component that links against that library and acts as a wrapper. That component can then be used in C#.

Check out MSDN docs .

Answer 2

Windows Phone doesn't support P/Invoke so, no. You can't. Especially if you want your app to be approved for the App Store:

4.2.2

For Windows Phone OS 7.1 Apps that target Windows Phone OS 7.1 must not invoke native code APIs by using PInvoke or COM interoperability.

For Windows Phone 8 Apps that target Windows Phone 8 must not invoke native code APIs other than the APIs listed at Win32 and COM API for Windows Phone 8.

Remember, your C library is probably pre-compiled for x86 which means that you would have to re-compile the source for different devices.

Your best bet is to check out the C source and see how difficult it would be to port to C#.
