UWP is .NET Core isn't it?
- mintplant 9y agoNo, UWP is not part of .NET Core.
- nwah1 9y agoThe news this week was that it works with .net standard 2.0 but I assume only on windows. https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/dotnet/2017/10/10/announcing-uwp-support-for-net-standard-2-0/ https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/dotnet/2017/10/10/announcin... If keepass were a .net standard library, you could have different front-ends for various platforms. Making the front-end crossplatform is a good goal too. I'm sure you could use bindings to Qt or gtk. There's various native crossplatform front-ends in the works too. See my comments below.
- WorldMaker 9y agoThe .NET stack inside UWP is .NET Core (for the most part), but the UI stack of UWP is WinRT controls [you can read that as modern COM controls] implemented mostly in C/C++ and directly a part of Windows. So .NET Core doesn't benefit from UWP UI library, but UWP typically benefits from .NET Core upgrades.
- eberkund 9y agoThanks, that was a good explanation
