Note that background processes are usually not called "console app"-s, that is just Symbian-specific naming habit (which is based on a mis-understanding). When searching for this topic, [B]windows phone 8 background task[/B]/[B]process[/B]/[B]daemon[/B]/[B]agent [/B]provides better results.
I was looking at some results most of them are using c sharp , I wonder whether c++ can be used , on wp8 . as they talk about wp8 has native support.
When developing native code for WP8, usually you develop libraries. See the templates listed at the bottom of [url]http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsphone/develop/ff402571(v=vs.105).aspx[/url] - so it is more like the early-NDK development on Android if you are familiar with that.
