Raymond Chen continues his series on creating a fake agile wrapper in COM, explaining how to move non-marshalable objects by forwarding references into the force_marshal wrapper and discussing C++/WinRT deduction guides.

Raymond Chen continues his series on building an agile Windows Runtime delegate in C++/WinRT, comparing how C++/WinRT, C++/CX, and WRL handle non-marshalable delegates and agile reference creation.

This blog post discusses handling Windows Runtime delegates that implement the INoMarshal interface in C++/WinRT, providing an agile delegate wrapper that checks the calling context to avoid marshaling errors.

This article explains how to create an agile version of a Windows Runtime delegate in C++/WinRT by wrapping the delegate in an agile_ref, with a promise of more details in part 2.

This article explains why cancellation of Windows Runtime asynchronous activities is asynchronous, using code examples to illustrate how it avoids deadlocks, especially when progress callbacks trigger cancellation.

Raymond Chen explains why C++/WinRT does not allow multiple awaits on asynchronous operations like C#, JavaScript, and Python do, citing the lack of a standard library task type and the principle of not paying for unused functionality.
