Writing .Net window application in C++

Question

I have a task to do: I have to write a graphical (window) application in .Net which is going to read temperature from the three sensors (namely MCP9808, SI7051 and STS31-DIS) connected via MCP2221 I2C/USB converter and display it on the screen.

There are some requirements: The app has to be graphically estetic, it has to have the some buttons (eg for the periodic read of the temperature) and it has to display a chart showing the temperature variations.

I know that .Net usually comes with C# but I've never used it before and also the libraries for the MCP2221 are for C++ as I believe.

Could anyone help me how to get down to this problem?

I don't know. That's what was told during the description of the task by my tutor. I believe they want this app to be compatible with multiple platforms. **And aside from what was told. What would you recommend to use?** — Alfąs Noblik, Jul 12 '18 at 07:37
I recommend talking to your instructor and ask for more instructions. — PepitoSh, Jul 12 '18 at 07:39
"get down to this problem" - which problem? At the moment there's no problem, just a task. — Thomas Weller, Jul 12 '18 at 07:42

If you really need to use .NET for your GUI (WPF or WinForms), you should consider .NET interoperability, which allows you to call C++ compiled code from your .NET code.

Here is another StackOverflow post that should help you:

If you want to use C++ syntax only, there is also C++/CLI.
