A desktop app bootstrapper using Xamarin
This sample comes in 3 different versions:
- A UWP application
- A WPF application
- A MacOS application
- If you download the samples ZIP, be sure to unzip the entire archive, not just the folder with the sample you want to build.
- Start Microsoft Visual Studio 2017 and select File > Open > Project/Solution.
- Starting in the folder where you unzipped the samples, go to the XFDesktopMVVM subfolder. Double-click the Visual Studio solution file (.sln).
- Confirm that the project is pointed to the correct SDK that you installed (e.g. 17763). You can do this by right-clicking the project in the Solution Explorer, selecting Properties, and modifying the Windows SDK Version.
- Confirm that you are set for the right configuration and platform (for example: Debug, x64).
- Build the solution (Ctrl+Shift+B).
If you want to try the UWP application, right click on XFDesktopMVVM project in Visual Studio and choose Set as StartUp Project. Then press F5 to deploy the application on your machine and launch the debugging experience.
