Using observations made with the Nobeyama radio heliograph (NRH) at 17 GHz and the Yohkoh/SXT experiment, we report the first detection of 17 GHz signatures of coronal X-ray-bright points (XBPs). This is also the first reported detection of flaring bright points in microwaves. We have detected four BPs at 17 GHz out of eight identified in SXT data on 1992 July 31, for which we looked for 17 GHz emission. For one XBP located in a quiet mixed-polarity region, the peak times at 17 GHz and X-rays are very similar, and both are long-lasting-about 2 hr in duration. There is a second BP (located near an active region) which is most likely flaring also, but the time profiles in the two spectral domains are not similar. The other two 17 GHz BPs are quiescent with fluctuations superposed upon them. For the quiet region XBP, the gradual, long-lasting, and unpolarized emission suggests that the 17 GHz emission is thermal.
