The Windows Community Toolkit 2023 Update

  • The Windows Community Toolkit Labs is now the starting point for new components in the Toolkit, and a new infrastructure has been built.
  • With a single-codebase, a component can now work across WinUI 2 on UWP, Windows App SDK + WinUI 3, and Uno Platform (using WinUI 2 or 3).
  • New components have been added to WCT Labs, and more information can be found on their open source repository and website.
  • The vNext preview version is available for testing and feedback, with packages for UWP + WinUI 2 or Uno.UI, and Windows App SDK + WinUI 3 or Uno.WinUI.
  • Namespace for code within the packages is now unified with a root of Microsoft.Toolkit.
  • Our goal is to bring over the majority of common components used in the Toolkit to the new platform and work forward from there all together.
  • Feedback and contribution is welcome, with steps listed on the staging repository on GitHub.
