WinUI 3.0 - Building Modern Desktop Apps with .NET and C#

[@millch2k8]

On many an occassion I've read the official documentation on the various desktop technologies... I've never walked away with an understanding such as I have after watching this. Many thanks.

[@finnurhrafn]

Thanks for a great overview of current Microsoft desktop development frameworks. It shows that it is presented by an experienced and active developer.

[@GianluigiConti]

Great presentation, as a WPF developer, I now understand the direction our tech is going into, many thanks

[@souleymaneba9272]

@P P WPF is great and I don't see the added value of WinUI. I tried one month UWP and it is real crap. I went back to WPF. With Microsoft, always wait until a technology is enough mature before investing in it.

@@souleymaneba9272 I had to use UWP for a client and didn't get the need.. it was a weak subset of WPF and didn't offer any benifits...

[@souleymaneba9272]

@@hchattaway Hoping that WinUI3 will not follow the same path than UWP. 🙂

@@souleymaneba9272 Well i already gave up when testing the simple blank project xD It should not be complicated, or nobody will use it. If UI becomes more struggle than the actual code ^^

[@souleymaneba9272]

@@Taki7o7 They should fix main WinUI3 bugs as MAUI who should be released in Q2 is based on WinUI3 when you target windows. As of now MAUI xaml contains a lot of bugs. MAUI Blazor is stable enough to work with.

You do have a talent for explaining things. So easy to follow and yet very comprehensive. I've been a c# developer for years and you just helped me fill a few blank spots I never realized I had. Many thanks.

The last time I did Windows Desktop development was prior to .NET. ~20 years later and it is soooo confusing about what to use. This is the best presentation that answered all questions. Thank you Thomas. Very clear, very informative.

[@colhountech]

Really great presentation. Very well explained and a great insight into the journey into the Microsoft UI ecosystem both past and future. Great job.

[@KNHSynths]

Thanks for this wide overview, almost a documentary about MS dev tools evolution in the last years. Herzlichen Glückwunsch! (von einem französischen MVP)

[@tuemo5878]

Your presentation helps me. especialy not only speaking but using figures is great!

[@fr3ddyfr3sh]

Awesome as always, when Thomas is giving a talk

[@ANILMAHADEV]

Perfect refresher for many of us! Dankeschon! Y’all!

[@PaulSebastianM]

So cool. I thought Arnold was presenting this every time I heard "COAR!" xD

[@allandnothing5987]

Thanks for a pretty informative presentation, and your sense of humor is so good bro..lol Learnt a lot more here than dozens of other videos by kids at Microsoft masquerading as "program managers"

[@RobyMarcellino]

Comprehensive presentation. Thanks a lot!

[@ChristofferLund]

Great video, Thomas! Very clear explanation.

[@codemoron_]

Thank you for this comprehensive presentation.

this is a great channel

[@devanshgarg31]

THIS IS FIRE CONTENT

[@БолеславМалиновский-ж2ф]

Unless I missed it, it hasn't been presented how it's actually possible to reference the WinUI controls in WPF projects and how would that look like as in code as UI.

[@kopilkaiser8991]

Thank you

[@amigoface]

great overview and presentation

[@precastdetailing]

Thanks for the video. I'm a little confused. With a new application, should I write it in UWP or WinUI? is there are a chart or something which can help me decide? All the new names and renaming is a little confusing.

[@IdontlikeyouGoogle]

I can't find the extension project reunion, has this been replace or renamed in the meantime?

[@luislema3863]

Great session, WinUI well explained now is more clear how all of this is geared up. One question: do I need to have dotnet installed on target machine where final application will run? 🤔

[@БолеславМалиновский-ж2ф]

Thanks for the video. However, at the end, I still didn't catch if WPF and Windows.Forms referencing WinUI 2 (and especially WinUI 3) (what hasn't been presented in the video) (and as mentioned which just were "copied" XAML controls into) can still then be run on earlier Windows versions (as long as .NET 6 still supported on Windows 7+). (Again, as long as it was one of the point of separating the XAML controls from WinRT/UWP).

[@BahawalTV]

great watch!

How to send/pops up Reminder notification from the MAUI app?

[@bgrant1512]

Wait did you say WinUI has no input validation? Man that would be a show stopper.

[@SamuelAdomYG]

Ok, so in nutshell, what UI framework is going to be the future standard UI to build Apps. WinUI or MAUI ?

[@ewdlop1]

WinUI is part of the U of MAUI MAUI = MAC, Andriod, UWP(Windows), IOS

[@RupeshSaxena]

is winui based good for Point of sale like app…? i am planning to develop as per industry level standards

[@AL-kn4yx]

I was under the impression that WinUI was a brand new native framework independent of .NET. How is it native if it still goes through .NET?

[@mateiacd]

Could WinUI be used to create a GUI for Python applications ? Not now of course, but maybe in the future ?

[@phat80]

You can make UI for python application. Why not? You can have backend written in python and WinUI frontend.

[@bartez8018]

WPF, UWD or something else? Which is best for windows desktop app? I think it is WPF or Am I wrong?

[@phat80]

WPF is dead, UWP is dead, maybe WinUI will be also dead in future. It seems that Microsoft can’t find a long term framework. So many people still stick to Win32 (WinForms).

[@bryanpaderes8963]

​@@phat80WPF is on maintenance mode. But its not dead

unfortunately i cant find any thing about animate and transform window app position and using something like ease timing function for transform and reposition of an window . could you please help me ?

[@souleymaneba9272]

Use WPF, you will find anything you want. This WinUI stuff will follow the same path as UWP.

Hi, I am developing an WinUI 3 application. I wanted to understand how to set size for window since I couldn't find the properties like Height and Width for the same and which is available in WPF. Here I am using Grid controls inside the window, Grid I am able to assign the size properties, but window I am not. Or else is there any other way to manage the size of the window based on the grid size?

I'm sorry to say but - I could not understand most of what the initial speaker is saying. I'm in the US, and English is my native language. I'm sure some can hear you but I have trouble with it. You could improve this by slowing down just a bit and making the effort to emphasize your speech clarity.
