Do I always have to click to deploy a UWP app before running it? Thats two steps and I'd like to perform just one. I've just created a Blank Xaml App (Xamarin.Forms Portable) New Project from the list of Cross-Platform, Windows, Visual C# Templates in Visual Studio 2015 update 2. There are projects for Droid, iOS, and UWP (Universal Windows) as well as a few others. I set the UWP app as the startup project and attempted to run it (by clicking the green arrow on my local machine or hitting F5), but I received an error saying that I need to deploy first. If I right click the project and then

I was always able to set the target framework version for regular .NET projects. In a UWP app I can only set the "Windows 10 build version" . How do they relate to the .NET (core? native?) platform versions? UWP doesn't target a NET framework version, but it targets an SDK version, you can change the sdk version in project properties: You can also set the minimum target version. Furthermore, since UWP .NET Project (C# or Visual basic) is based on .NET Core you can upgrade (or downgrade) the .NET Core version through .nuget: UWP is a set of APIs (just like any .NET). There are different APIs

I have been battling DEP3321: To deploy this application, your deployment target should be running Windows Universal Runtime version 10.0.14393.0 or higher. You currently are running version 10.0.10586.839. Please update your OS, or change your deployment target to a device with the appropriate version. for the past few days. I have a UWP app which I cannot run on my machine. However, if I select one of the emulators, it runs fine. I have also set the minimum target value which ensures that the app runs, however, the app throws an error as it cannot find some methods in the lower version on

Is it possible to change or even hide the mouse-pointer in a UWP app? The only thing I can find is this : Windows.UI.Xaml.Window.Current.CoreWindow.PointerCursor = null; But in UWP, this doesn't work. Yes this can be done by settings the Window.Current.CoreWindow.PointerCursor . If you set it to null, the pointer is hidden. Otherwise you can use the CoreCursorType enumeration to set a specific system point. For instance use this to set the Arrow type: Window.Current.CoreWindow.PointerCursor = new Windows.UI.Core.CoreCursor(Windows.UI.Core.CoreCursorType.Arrow, 0); You can also add custom

Is there a replacement for this WPF code? <WrapPanel> <TextBlock Width="100" Height="20"/> <TextBlock Width="30" Height="50"/> <TextBlock Width="150" Height="70"/> </WrapPanel> This is really stupid if there is none... Update: I forgot to mention that the width of the WrapPanel is smaller than the total width of all the TextBlocks combined. This means that some of the items need to wrap to a second row. I thought that this is what most people used a WrapPanel for, but apparently some use it for a Horizontal StackPanel (In this case, you should set the StackPanel's Orientation to Horizontal ...

I would like to know how to calculate the height of a given a font (with its properties, like size, weight, style...) in a Window Universal Application using Win2D. I previously used a CanvasTextLayout , but it requires a text to work, like in this line: var ctl = new CanvasTextLayout(session, "Some text", new CanvasTextFormat(), constraintWidth, constraintHeight ); In my case, I will NOT have a text because what I'm looking for is the height in which all the glyphs of a given font (with its style, size, weight...) are fit. EDIT: I have also tried with the CanvasFontFace class, but it seems it
