UWP is WPF done right. You were right about the problem with WPF. The other problem was that it was very different from WinForms. But WinForms was also fundamentally broken, in a way that didn't appear until you had to make anything larger than a basic calculator app. UWP fixed all of that. If you take the time to learn it, it makes a lot of sense.
- sqldba 7y agoThat’s the first time I’ve heard anyone complement UWP. I thought it doesn’t support anything useful like datagridview?
- moron4hire 7y agoDataGridView had huge problems if you wanted to do anything even slightly off the beaten path. UWP forgoes opinionated controls.
- contextfree 7y agoStuff like datagrid tends to live in the Windows Community Toolkit (https://github.com/windows-toolkit/WindowsCommunityToolkit https://github.com/windows-toolkit/WindowsCommunityToolkit) these days. Though there's apparently an effort to reimplement it natively in WinUI (https://github.com/microsoft/microsoft-ui-xaml/issues/1500 https://github.com/microsoft/microsoft-ui-xaml/issues/1500) (one difference is that the WCT is mostly C# and WinUI/the built-in controls are C++)
- fifticon 7y agoCan you promise that it's good? When I try to read up on it, it just seems to be some 'android clone' intended for playing-card-stack-navigation? (IE UI's where you keep flipping back and forth between full-page layouts) ?
