There's a nice little enhancement to #WinUI code generator now that simplifies overwriting the standard main method with your own code:

Working on a little e-paper side-screen to remind me of upcoming meetings, tasks, etc. Fully configurable from a Microsoft.UI.Reactor tray app. WIP source code here: github.com/dotMorten/Si... #WinUI

Windows App SDK v2.3.2-experimentalA just landed. Among a few other new APIs, super proud to see my PR that adds Window sizing in dips is now in the SDK! #WinUI

Out of space. Perhaps time to stop collecting these and move on… #mvpbuzz

Honored to have received my 17th Microsoft MVP award today

Playing around with some custom DirectX rendering inside Microsoft.UI.Reactor and ended up with some fun 360° samples. All 100% C# code in #WinUI. No XAML, no C++.

Guess which one is classic Outlook and which one is new Outlook

Blogged: Building your first Microsoft.UI.Reactor App xaml.dev/post/your-fi... #WinUI

Morten Nielsen@dotmorten· Jun 13

Added two portable 17” monitors to the sides of my wide screen monitor. Did I overdo it? Maybe. Do I care? Nope 🤣

Project templates are now available for Microsoft.UI.Reactor. Run 'dotnet new install Microsoft.UI.Reactor.ProjectTemplates' to install, then 'dotnet new reactorapp' to build your first project. #winui

Experimenting a bit with Microsoft.UI.Reactor and ArcGIS Maps SDK for .NET. Making some progress getting things hooked up... #WinUI

You can now create a WinUI app as a single file-based app!

This makes no sense to me. Those are almost all non-UI APIs that are just as much available with WPF as they are with WinUI, since they don't ship with either, but comes with the normal Windows API bindings.

Needed a 360° panorama image viewer control for both WPF, WinUI, and .NET MAUI. That was a fun little side project using WPF's 3D Controls, Direct3D from C# in WinUI, OpenGL in Android and SCNView on iOS/Catalyst github.com/Esri/arcgis-...

Did another little #WPF vs #WinUI test. Started a stopwatch at the beginning of main() and stopped it when the root UI element was loaded. WinUI: Average 170ms, WPF: 450ms. (Running on ARM64 12-core Snapdragon X)

Morten Nielsen@dotmorten· Apr 22

Did a fun little comparison between #WPF and #WinUI. Simple app with ListView and 100 items in it. Code as close as possible to each other. The WPF memory usage after a bit of scrolling is just nuts

The only change in the WinUI binaries is a rename of the new IXamlPredicate API:

Morten Nielsen@dotmorten· Apr 17

Nice. You forgot a spot though. Not even sure what you mean about rounded corners?

Crazy view of the moon and Earth from Artemis II right now

Looks like the only new API since preview 1 is the new Xaml Conditions, and then a bunch of removed AI APIs. You can see the full spec here: github.com/microsoft/mi...
