The Switch framework is...

• a collection of native C++ classes libraries, similar to the .NET Framework;
• written in efficient, modern C++14;
• and highly portable and available on many different platforms (Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS and android);

For more information see Switch website (or markdown Documentations) and Reference Guide

Examples

The classic first application 'Hello World'.

Console

HelloWorld.cpp:

#include <Switch/Switch>

using namespace System;

namespace HelloWorld {
  class Program {
  public:
    static void Main() {
      Console::WriteLine("Hello, World!");
    }
  };
}

startup_(HelloWorld::Program);

CMakeLists.txt:

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.2)

Project(HelloWorld)
find_package(Switch REQUIRED)
add_executable(HelloWorld HelloWorld.cpp)
target_link_libraries(HelloWorld Switch.System)

Forms

HelloWorldForm.cpp:

#include <Switch/Switch>

using namespace System;
using namespace System::Drawing;
using namespace System::Windows::Forms;

namespace HelloWorld {
  class Program {
  public:
    static void Main() {
      Application::EnableVisualStyles();
      
      Button button;
      button.Text = "Click me";
      button.Location = Point(10, 10);
      button.Click += delegate_(const object& sender, const EventArgs& e) {
        MessageBox::Show("Hello, World!");
      };
      
      Form form;
      form.Text = "Hello World Form";
      form.Controls().Add(button);
      
      Application::Run(form);
    }
  };
}

startup_(HelloWorld::Program);

CMakeLists.txt:

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.2)

Project(HelloWorldForm)
find_package(Switch REQUIRED)
add_executable(HelloWorldForm ${SWITCH_GUI} HelloWorldForm.cpp)
target_link_libraries(HelloWorldForm Switch.System.Windows.Forms)

TUnit

HelloWorldTest.cpp:

#include <Switch/Switch>

using namespace TUnit::Framework;
using namespace System;

namespace UnitTests {
  class TestFixture_(HelloWorldTest) {
    void Test_(CreateStringFromLiteral) {
      string s = "Hello, World!";
      Assert::AreEqual("Hello, World!", s);
    }

    void Test_(CreateStringFromChars) {
      string s = {'H', 'e', 'l', 'l', 'o', ',', ' ', 'W', 'o', 'r', 'l', 'd', '!'};
      Assert::AreEqual("Hello, World!", s);
    }
  };

  AddTestFixture_(HelloWorldTest);
}

CMakeLists.txt:

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.2)

Project(HelloWorldTest)

add_executable(HelloWorldTest HelloWorldTest.cpp)
target_link_libraries(HelloWorldTest Switch.TUnit.Main)
