WInUI has Three Binaries?

[Keith]

So I was looking at the bits and I see three different sets of Binaries for the WinUI set.  What is the difference?

Sincerely,

Keith

Hello Keith,

The WinUI framework can be used to make both UWP and Desktop applications. The binaries from the UWP folder need to be used when creating a UWP application and the ones from the Win32 have to be used when developing a Desktop application.

As for the third folder, the binaries from the DPL folder can be used with both types of applications and are required if you wish to use the Document Processing Library (DPL).

I hope you find this information helpful. Do let me know if any further questions or concerns arise.

So, when you say UWP, can I use the WinUI 3.0 bits in that folder with existing UWP applications, not needing the new Microsoft SDK?  

I hope you say yes!  I'm struggling with the UWP Calendar and using the WinUI 3 scheduler would be great!  

But all the documentation talks about creating a WinUI with the SDK.  Do you have a blog or example I can look at?

Hello Keith,

You would first need to convert your UWP application to a WinUI application in order to use the binaries from the Telerik UI for WinUI UWP folder. You can have a look at the following resources:

• Migrate my pure UWP app to WINUI or not?
• How to Upgrade a UWP Application to WinUI 3.0

I hope you find these helpful.
