Namespaces Reference (C++/CX)

The articles in this section of the documentation describe namespaces that support the compiler for C++/CX.

Compiler-supplied namespaces

To simplify the coding of programs that target the Windows Runtime, the C++/CX compiler and its supporting header files provide namespaces that define a wide range of types. The namespaces define the built-in numeric types; strings, arrays, and collections; C++ exceptions that represent Windows Runtime errors; and language-specific enhancements to standard Windows Runtime types.
