Just because the author of this particular library picked C++/CX does not mean you have too. I prefer developing native parts in C++ without CX. Compile classic C++ DLL. Then I use a combination of C-style [DllImport]-ed functions, and COM-style IUnknown-derived objects. This approach works fantastic for a whole bunch of Microsoft’s APIs like Direct3D and Media Foundation. I don’t see why not use the same approach in designing custom DLLs.
