Hey, is there any way to compile C++ code on XBOX360 for use with XNA? I want to port some stuff over to 360, but it's all written in C++. I'm thinking, like a managed C++ compiler or something.

Nope, you'll have to port that code to C#. Only MS-licensed companies get C++ on 360 :/

Well, I was thinking of using it in a dll. Would that work? Calling a C++ compiled dll from C#?

Without a C++ compiler for the 360, you've got no way of compiling such a DLL.

This. And there are no known workarounds.

Just to confirm what has been said, you'll need a devkit to do C++ development on the 360 - there are no exceptions as far as I am aware.

What about a free, good C++ to C# converter that will convert my Microsoft Visual C++ solutions, to Microsoft Visual C# solutions?

I literally copy/pasted a part of your question into google and was able to find About 1,120,000 results in the span of 0.21 seconds

This path is fraught with peril.

Quote for emphasis.

Automatic cross-language converters suck as a general rule. Hand-porting will get you far better results with a lot less hair-pulling.
