Bravo!

Thats what gave me the key I remebered I had read that Windows phone 8 allows C/C++ code. When I reviewed Visual Studio 2012 Ultimate and saw the C/C++ support, then I got the connection. We can use the same implementation on Windows Phone 8

BTW, the following news is about another topic, but includes one important observation:

Since Windows 8 was announced it has been clear that a shift of power within Microsoft has made C#, and the whole .NET system, look less attractive - you could say that the re-imagining of Windows brought the limelight back on C++.

But the posibiity of Harbour and FW RT is more exiciting.

The C/C++ approach for Harbour made by Anotnio realy works.

My congratulations to Harbour and FW team!

This can be an opportunity for Harbour to attract more developers.
