UWP is a no-go already. No way we can port our WPF code.
- naikrovek 8y agoWell, UWP and WPF are close cousins, so it probably isn't as bad as one would think if they didn't know that. They're both XAML, though they are not quite the same. The main thing is that with WPF you can use the same Win32-type logic you've always been using. UWP is it's own API entirely. It's not all that different, but it is different. Things are organized better and APIs make more sense in UWP-land to me. So the gui would probably port over relatively easily. The application logic probably wouldn't.
- maxxxxx 8y agoThe GUI would be the easy part but our applications have a lot of background logic. Going to UWP would be almost a complete rewrite without actually improving anything. From what I have seen so far UWP is just different but not really better than WPF.
- naikrovek 8y agoCan't argue with any of that. Presumably, at some point in the future UWP support will extend beyond WPF's support window, and right now they are both supported, so it would be silly to switch solely for the sake of making IoT Core a viable deployment platform for you.
