UWP Community Toolkit VS Gui.cs

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.

Windows Community Toolkit

As someone who writes software for moderately boring business operations, I've been wondering making terminal-based apps with lots of keyboard shortcuts would lead to a more productive end user than writing a web app.

I've been looking at https://github.com/gui-cs/Terminal.Gui but haven't tried it yet.

Thanks but I'm sticking with Terminal.Gui

Used this neat library to handle the GUI gui-cs/Terminal.Gui: Cross Platform Terminal UI toolkit for .NET (github.com)

Terminal.GUI - cross platform terminal UI for .NET: https://github.com/gui-cs/Terminal.Gui

Two I've used are Terminal.Gui for .net https://github.com/gui-cs/Terminal.Gui and BubbleTea for Go https://github.com/charmbracelet/bubbletea

In that case you can use console (https://github.com/gui-cs/Terminal.Gui) to make games.

As you can see the tool is always integrated into the terminal because it has built on a cross platform UI toolkit based on a fantastic open source project called Terminal.Gui. Now you can select the objects by using space bar and than confirm the selection with enter. The result will be:

C# - https://github.com/gui-cs/Terminal.Gui

Since you mentioned minimal GUI, have you thought of a TUI? I haven't spiked it out but I would guess Terminal.Gui would work with Native AOT
