ShortDev.Uwp.FullTrust 0.1.8

ShortDev.Uwp.FullTrust

Create highly performant UI with WinUi2 (Uwp) and enjoy the freedom of Win32!
You don't need any interop code for the .GetForCurrentView() methods.

Problems

• The library does currently not support any Uwp-Frame related apis
• Therefore not frame customization
• Creating a new window is only possible with the library apis
• Pickers still need IInitializeWithWindow (See #11)

Setup

1. Create new Uwp project (UI-Project)
2. Add <EnableTypeInfoReflection>false</EnableTypeInfoReflection> in to the project file
3. Add reference to this library

5. Create new netcoreapp3.1 WinExe project (Host-Project)
6. Add reference to Microsoft.Toolkit.Win32.UI.SDK
7. Add reference to Uwp project
8. Add TargetPlatformVersion and AssetTargetFallback to the project file
9. Redirect main method to the Uwp main method (See below)

Host-Project (netcoreapp3.1)

This is needed for the management of all the dependency and runtime stuff.
Should contain no logic.

<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk.WindowsDesktop">

  <PropertyGroup>
    <OutputType>WinExe</OutputType>
    <TargetFramework>netcoreapp3.1</TargetFramework>
    <Platforms>x86;x64</Platforms>
    <AssetTargetFallback>uap10.0.19041</AssetTargetFallback>
    <TargetPlatformVersion>10.0.19041</TargetPlatformVersion>
  </PropertyGroup>

  <ItemGroup>
    <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.Toolkit.Win32.UI.SDK" Version="6.1.2" />
  </ItemGroup>

  <ItemGroup>
    <ProjectReference Include="<PATH_TO_UWP_PROJECT>" />
  </ItemGroup>

</Project>

Program.cs

public class Program
{
    [STAThread]
    public static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        NAMESPACE.Program.Main(args);
    }
}

UI-Project (Uwp)

Should contain all logic.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Project ToolsVersion="15.0" DefaultTargets="Build" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003">
  <Import Project="$(MSBuildExtensionsPath)\$(MSBuildToolsVersion)\Microsoft.Common.props" Condition="Exists('$(MSBuildExtensionsPath)\$(MSBuildToolsVersion)\Microsoft.Common.props')" />
  <PropertyGroup>
    <EnableTypeInfoReflection>false</EnableTypeInfoReflection>
  </PropertyGroup>
  ...
</Project>

Program.cs

public class Program
{
    [STAThread]
    public static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        FullTrustApplication.Start((_) => new App());
    }
}

Examples

Create New Window

var view = FullTrustApplication.CreateNewView();
_ = view.CoreWindow.Dispatcher.RunIdleAsync((x) =>
{
    Window.Current.Content = new MainPage();
    Window.Current.Activate();
});
