I have been using the project template called “Windows Runtime Component” that ships with VS2012 in order to create a C++/CX based WinRT component.

I now wish to do the same thing without using C++/CX but through WRL. When I do this, there are some things (referencing, automatic packaging with the main app project, Winmd-based intellisense etc.) that don’t work in VS2012. How can I make sure that I can use WRL in my component project and still get the full IDE experience like I get with C++/CX based template?

    Take a look at the Visual Studio project template for WRL components here:

    This achieves a similar result both at design-time and at runtime as does the C++/CX based project template.
