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, windows phone 8 background task/process/daemon/agent 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 http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...v=vs.105).aspx - so it is more like the early-NDK development on Android if you are familiar with that.
Some starting points for reading about native code topics: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr.../hh700360.aspx and http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...v=vs.105).aspx (if you are interested in porting, there are some words about it one level back).
