I have just downloaded the Microsoft Band SDK Preview and trying to connect it to my C++/CX Windows Universal App project. Nuget gives me an error below, any way I could use the SDK preview from C++ code?
Install-Package : Could not install package 'Microsoft.Band 1.3.10219-preview'.
You are trying to install this package into a project that targets 'Native,Version=v0.0',
but the package does not contain any assembly references or content files that are
compatible with that framework. For more information, contact the package author.

It seems the problem is generic to installing managed assemblies to C++ projects, but I haven't managed to find the workaround yet.
The Band SDK Preview (1.3.10219-preview) NuGet package does not specifically target Windows Runtime Components, which means it cannot be consumed (directly) by C++ or JavaScript Windows Runtime Component libraries. As an alternative, you could create a Windows Runtime Component library (C# or VB) that wraps the portion of the Band SDK you need and then consume that library from your C++ or JavaScript component.
