UWP Community Toolkit VS Magick.NET

GitHub/WCT/Controls/DataGrid (source code for the control)

Started programming by writing some apps for Windows Phone later UWP during university. A few years ago I started collaborating a lot on GitHub to some Microsoft projects, like the Windows Community Toolkit. There I created a lot of new APIs and libraries, like all the new animation APIs and pipeline brush APIs, etc. I then also proposed adding some general .NET APIs to it, and that's how the MVVM Toolkit was born, along with other libraries which are now moved to the .NET Community Toolkit. Fast forward until about late 2020, and they pinged me saying the new Microsoft Store (which hadn't been announced yet back then) was using several of those new APIs I had written, so we started collaborating more so that I could add more functionality they needed. After that shipped, at some point there was a new opening to which I applied, and here I am in the Microsoft Store team and also leading the .NET Community Toolkit 🙂

https://github.com/CommunityToolkit/WindowsCommunityToolkit (now multiplateform)

For instance, recently Chaochao opened a PR for the Windows Community Toolkit to open source the whole custom animation helpers he developed for the Store, which are used to implement the morphing animations you see when scrolling in a product page. You can see a GIF and the whole code here and in the linked PR.

Specifically I am looking for AsyncRelayCommand.cs. All documentation points to CommunityToolkit repo but I can not find it there. Link to source repo from the Nuget package also points to CommunityToolkit. I am not looking for samples.

The report itself is just markdown that is rendered with the Community Toolkit's MarkdownTextBlock.

That's interesting. It will need some documentation and to finish the renaming at some point, e.g. Span2D is in https://github.com/CommunityToolkit/WindowsCommunityToolkit but as you say doesn't require Windows.

There's Magick.NET, in retrospect it would probably be the best option, but I already learned enough SkiaSharp so I'm sticking with that.

Magick.NET is also good, but has some unmanaged dependencies.

Magick.NET for image manipulation https://github.com/dlemstra/Magick.NET

We use Image Magick for anything image related like that. It's free. It will even perform image compression if you want to do that. Here's the Magick.NET c# library.

If I could, I would use ImageSharp. But as we depend on some tiff features that are not implemented, I’m using ImageMagick via Magick.NET

And you think what your images will be x10 stronger?) Btw, you can use cross-platform Magick.NET, but don't do that use any of nuget packages captchas, most of then have image difficulty settings.

If you're happy with using image magick there's always Magick.net https://github.com/dlemstra/Magick.NET
