The UWP Notepad Project: First Steps (Premium)
Premium
After far too many struggles, I think I’ve finally gotten the Universal Windows Platform (UWP) version of .NETpad to the point where I can document how I created it.
Unfortunately, I also need to lower expectations up-front: Despite some recent improvements to this platform, UWP just wasn’t designed to create desktop applications. So this version of .NETpad performs more slowly and doesn’t provide the full feature-set that we created in the Windows Forms and Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) versions of the app. That said, it’s still a decent rendition of a Notepad-type text editor but reimagined a bit for the unique capabilities (and limitations) of UWP.
