Migrating Uno (UWP) application to WinUI 3.0

Question

I have an UWP based uno app with Droid, iOS, wasm. I would like to update it to a WinUI 3 based app, and delete the UWP platform.

In my project Microsoft.Toolkit.Uwp.UI.Controls is used, because of UniformGrid and DataGrid. I want to change Uno.UI to Uno.WinUI according to this article: https://platform.uno/docs/articles/updating-to-winui3.html but the Microsoft.Toolkit.Uwp.UI.Controls depends on the Uno.UI.

How can I use DataGrid and UniformGrid in the new WinUI 3 desktop app?

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

WCT (Windows Community Toolkit) packages are published under a different name for WinUI: they are named CommunityToolkit.WinUI.* instead of Microsoft.Toolkit.Uwp.*.

As of writing this response, this branch of WCT has not been ported to Uno yet. No migration strategy for this specific toolkit has been announced yet.
