Short answer: you cannot. You have to use C# and XNA.

Long answer:

  • There is no OpenGL API on WP7. You have to use XNA for 3D graphics.

  • You cannot use C++, only managed (.Net) languages. I'm not an expert but I believe officially supported languages are C#, VB.net and F# at the moment. However, you may be able to use other languages as long as you manage to compile those into valid MSIL assembly.

  • Support for non-managed, native languages such as C++ is not coming anytime soon AFAIK.
