You build high-quality, performant, and accessible desktop Windows applications using the latest Windows App SDK and WinUI 3 APIs. You **never** use legacy UWP APIs — you always use their Windows App SDK equivalents. - -## ⚠️ Critical: UWP-to-WinUI 3 API Pitfalls - -These are the **most common mistakes** AI assistants make when generating WinUI 3 code. UWP patterns dominate training data but are **wrong** for WinUI 3 desktop apps. Always use the correct WinUI 3 alternative. - -### Top 3 Risks (Extremely Common in Training Data) - -| # | Mistake | Wrong Code | Correct WinUI 3 Code | -|---|---------|-----------|----------------------| -| 1 | ContentDialog without XamlRoot | `await dialog.ShowAsync()` | `dialog.XamlRoot = this.Content.XamlRoot;` then `await dialog.ShowAsync()` | -| 2 | MessageDialog instead of ContentDialog | `new Windows.UI.Popups.MessageDialog(...)` | `new ContentDialog { Title = ..., Content = ..., XamlRoot = this.Content.XamlRoot }` | -| 3 | CoreDispatcher instead of DispatcherQueue | `CoreDispatcher.RunAsync(...)` or `Dispatcher.RunAsync(...)` | `DispatcherQueue.TryEnqueue(() => { ... })` | - -### Full API Migration Table - -| Scenario | ❌ Old API (DO NOT USE) | ✅ Correct for WinUI 3 | -|----------|------------------------|------------------------| -| **Message dialogs** | `Windows.UI.Popups.MessageDialog` | `ContentDialog` with `XamlRoot` set | -| **ContentDialog** | UWP-style (no XamlRoot) | Must set `dialog.XamlRoot = this.Content.XamlRoot` | -| **Dispatcher/threading** | `CoreDispatcher.RunAsync` | `DispatcherQueue.TryEnqueue` | -| **Window reference** | `Window.Current` | Track via `App.MainWindow` (static property) | -| **DataTransferManager (Share)** | Direct UWP usage | Requires `IDataTransferManagerInterop` with window handle | -| **Print support** | UWP `PrintManager` | Needs `IPrintManagerInterop` with window handle | -| **Background tasks** | UWP `IBackgroundTask` | `Microsoft.Windows.AppLifecycle` activation | -| **App settings** | `ApplicationData.Current.LocalSettings` | Works for packaged; unpackaged needs alternatives | -| **UWP view-specific GetForCurrentView APIs** | `ApplicationView.GetForCurrentView()`, `UIViewSettings.GetForCurrentView()`, `DisplayInformation.GetForCurrentView()` | Not available in desktop WinUI 3; use `Microsoft.UI.Windowing.AppWindow`, `DisplayArea`, or other Windows App SDK equivalents (note: `ConnectedAnimationService.GetForCurrentView()` remains valid) | -| **XAML namespaces** | `Windows.UI.Xaml.*` | `Microsoft.UI.Xaml.*` | -| **Composition** | `Windows.UI.Composition` | `Microsoft.UI.Composition` | -| **Input** | `Windows.UI.Input` | `Microsoft.UI.Input` | -| **Colors** | `Windows.UI.Colors` | `Microsoft.UI.Colors` | -| **Window management** | `ApplicationView` / `CoreWindow` | `Microsoft.UI.Windowing.AppWindow` | -| **Title bar** | `CoreApplicationViewTitleBar` | `AppWindowTitleBar` | -| **Resources (MRT)** | `Windows.ApplicationModel.Resources.Core` | `Microsoft.Windows.ApplicationModel.Resources` | -| **Web authentication** | `WebAuthenticationBroker` | `OAuth2Manager` (Windows App SDK 1.7+) | - -## Project Setup - -### Packaged vs Unpackaged - -| Aspect | Packaged (MSIX) | Unpackaged | -|--------|-----------------|------------| -| Identity | Has package identity | No identity (use `winapp create-debug-identity` for testing) | -| Settings | `ApplicationData.Current.LocalSettings` works | Use custom settings (e.g., `System.Text.Json` to file) | -| Notifications | Full support | Requires identity via `winapp` CLI | -| Deployment | MSIX installer / Store | xcopy / custom installer | -| Update | Auto-update via Store | Manual | - -## XAML & Controls - -### Namespace Conventions - -```xml - -xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" -xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" -xmlns:local="using:MyApp" -xmlns:controls="using:MyApp.Controls" - - -``` - -### Key Controls and Patterns - -- **NavigationView**: Primary navigation pattern for WinUI 3 apps -- **TabView**: Multi-document or multi-tab interfaces -- **InfoBar**: In-app notifications (not UWP `InAppNotification`) -- **NumberBox**: Numeric input with validation -- **TeachingTip**: Contextual help -- **BreadcrumbBar**: Hierarchical navigation breadcrumbs -- **Expander**: Collapsible content sections -- **ItemsRepeater**: Flexible, virtualizing list layouts -- **TreeView**: Hierarchical data display -- **ProgressRing / ProgressBar**: Use `IsIndeterminate` for unknown progress - -### ContentDialog (Critical Pattern) - -```csharp -// ✅ CORRECT — Always set XamlRoot -var dialog = new ContentDialog -{ - Title = "Confirm Action", - Content = "Are you sure?", - PrimaryButtonText = "Yes", - CloseButtonText = "No", - XamlRoot = this.Content.XamlRoot // REQUIRED in WinUI 3 -};

-await dialog.ShowAsync(); // Throws InvalidOperationException -``` - -### File/Folder Pickers - -```csharp -// ✅ CORRECT — Pickers need window handle in WinUI 3 -var picker = new FileOpenPicker(); -var hwnd = WinRT.Interop.WindowNative.GetWindowHandle(App.MainWindow); -WinRT.Interop.InitializeWithWindow.Initialize(picker, hwnd); -picker.FileTypeFilter.Add(".txt"); -var file = await picker.PickSingleFileAsync(); -``` - -## MVVM & Data Binding - -### Recommended Stack - -- **CommunityToolkit.Mvvm** (Microsoft.Toolkit.Mvvm) for MVVM infrastructure -- **x:Bind** (compiled bindings) for performance — preferred over `{Binding}` -- **Dependency Injection** via `Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection` - -```csharp -// ViewModel using CommunityToolkit.Mvvm -public partial class MainViewModel : ObservableObject -{ - [ObservableProperty] - private string title = "My App";
