Learn WinUI 3.0 is a comprehensive introduction to WinUI and Windows apps for anyone who is new to WinUI, Universal Windows Platform (UWP), and XAML applications.The book begins by helping you get to grips with the latest features in WinUI and shows you how XAML is used in UI development. You'll then set up a new Visual Studio environment and learn how to create a new UWP project. Next, you'll find out how to incorporate the Model-View-ViewModel (MVVM) pattern in a WinUI project and develop unit tests for ViewModel commands. Moving on, you'll cover the Windows Template Studio (WTS) new project wizard and WinUI libraries in a step-by-step way. As you advance, you'll discover how to leverage the Fluent Design system to create beautiful WinUI applications. You'll also explore the contents and capabilities of the Windows Community Toolkit and learn to create a new UWP user control. Toward the end, the book will teach you how to build, debug, unit test, deploy, and monitor apps in production.By the end of this book, you'll have learned how to build WinUI applications from scratch and modernize existing WPF and WinForms applications using WinUI controls.What you will learnGet up and running with WinUI and discover how it fits into the landscape of Project Reunion and Windows UI developmentBuild new Windows apps quickly with robust templatesDevelop testable and maintainable apps using the MVVM patternModernize WPF and WinForms applications with WinUI and XAML IslandsDiscover how to build apps that can target Windows and leverage the power of the webInstall the XAML Controls Gallery sample app and explore available WinUI controlsWho this book is forThis book is for anyone who wants to develop Windows applications with a modern user experience (UX). If you are familiar with UWP and WPF and are looking to enhance your knowledge of Windows development and modernize existing apps, you will find this book useful. Hands-on experience with C# and .NET is expected but no prior knowledge of WinUI is required.

Leverage the latest parallel and concurrency features in .NET 6 when building your next application and explore the benefits and challenges of asynchrony, parallelism, and concurrency in .NET via practical examplesKey FeaturesLearn to implement parallel programming and handle concurrency in .NET efficientlySwitch threads while debugging and learn how to monitor specific threads in Visual StudioDiscover how to cancel tasks with callbacks, by polling, or by using a task with wait handlesBook Description.NET has included managed threading capabilities since the beginning, but early techniques had inherent risks: memory leaks, thread synchronization issues, and deadlocks. This book will help you avoid those pitfalls and leverage the modern constructs available in .NET 6 and C# 10, while providing recommendations on patterns and best practices for parallelism and concurrency. Parallel, concurrent, and asynchronous programming are part of every .NET application today, and it becomes imperative for modern developers to understand how to effectively use these techniques.This book will teach intermediate-level .NET developers how to make their applications faster and more responsive with parallel programming and concurrency in .NET and C# with practical examples. The book starts with the essentials of multi-threaded .NET development and explores how the language and framework constructs have evolved along with .NET. You will later get to grips with the different options available today in .NET 6, followed by insights into best practices, debugging, and unit testing.By the end of this book, you will have a deep understanding of why, when, and how to employ parallelism and concurrency in any .NET application.What you will learnPrevent deadlocks and race conditions with managed threadingUpdate Windows app UIs without causing exceptionsExplore best practices for introducing asynchronous constructs to existing codeAvoid pitfalls when introducing parallelism to your codeImplement the producer-consumer pattern with Dataflow blocksEnforce data sorting when processing data in parallel and safely merge data from multiple sourcesUse concurrent collections that help synchronize data across threadsDebug an everyday parallel app with the Parallel Stacks and Parallel Tasks windowsWho this book is forThis book is for beginner to intermediate-level .NET developers who want to employ the latest parallel and concurrency features in .NET when building their applications. Readers should have a solid understanding of the C# language and any version of the .NET Framework or .NET Core.
