Repro is:

Visual Studio 2013 Update 2
NCrunch v2.7.0.5

1. Create a new "Visual C#/Store Apps/Windows Apps/Blank App (Windows)" project
2. Add to the solution a new "Other Languages/Visual C++/Store Apps/Windows Apps/Windows Runtime Component (Windows)".
3. From the App1 project, reference the WindowsRuntimeComponent1 project.

At this point, NCrunch is still happy.

4. In MainPage.xaml.cs in the App1 project, add a using statement referencing the component from step 2:

using WindowsRuntimeComponent1;

At this point, NCrunch errors out:

MainPage.xaml.cs (17): The type or namespace name 'WindowsRuntimeComponent1' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)


WARNING - ..\..\..\..\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\12.0\bin\Microsoft.Common.CurrentVersion.targets (1696): Resolved file has a bad image, no metadata, or is otherwise inaccessible. Could not load file or assembly 'WindowsRuntimeComponent1.dll' or one of its dependencies. An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format.


http://www.ncrunch.net/support/frameworks says that most C++ projects will build, but C++ test frameworks are not supported, which is fine with me.

I found that http://forum.ncrunch.net...ents-not-supported.aspx says that in v1 Windows Runtime Components were explicitly not supported and expected to be in v2. Has the support been added in v2?

I am an avid nCrunch user and am using it happily on my Windows Store project. However, I'd like to port a part of my project to C++, and I wouldn't want to give up on the whole of NCruch just to do that.
