Microsoft UWP Toolkit Version 1.3 Released

 

The UWP Community Toolkit Sample App is part of the community supported toolkit that can help UWP app developers with various elements of their apps.

It contains code and examples of such items as helper functions, custom controls, and various app services that can be used inside of UWP apps for Windows 10 and across devices such as PC, Mobile, Xbox One, HoloLens, and Surface Hub.

Microsoft revealed that this latest update to the community toolkit includes contributions from 59 developers which account for 82% of the updates for this version of the toolkit.

The main toolkit is curated on GitHub and the app itself is available in the Windows Store.

In total, 16 different items have been udpated in this version of the toolkit including controls, services, animations, notifications, and accessibility.

Any features that are for a specific feature update to Windows 10 are clearly marked so you can make sure they are used in the right versions of your apps.

This gallery will give you a quick tour of the UWP Community Toolkit Sample App.

About the Author

Richard Hay

Senior Content Producer, IT Pro Today (Informa Tech)

I served for 29 plus years in the U.S. Navy and retired as a Master Chief Petty Officer in November 2011. My work background in the Navy was telecommunications related so my hobby of computers fit well with what I did for the Navy. I consider myself a tech geek and enjoy most things in that arena.

My first website – AnotherWin95.com – came online in 1995. Back then I used GeoCities Web Hosting for it and WindowsObserver.com is the result of the work I have done on that site since 1995.

In January 2010 my community contributions were recognized by Microsoft when I received my first Most Valuable Professional (MVP) Award for the Windows Operating System. Since then I have been renewed as a Microsoft MVP each subsequent year since that initial award. I am also a member of the inaugural group of Windows Insider MVPs which began in 2016.

I previously hosted the Observed Tech PODCAST for 10 years and 317 episodes and now host a new podcast called Faith, Tech, and Space. 

I began contributing to Penton Technology websites in January 2015 and in April 2017 I was hired as the Senior Content Producer for Penton Technology which is now Informa Tech. In that role, I contribute to ITPro Today and cover operating systems, enterprise technology, and productivity.
