Enter one of the package names mentioned in Windows Community Toolkit Nuget Packages table to search for it online.

Features 📫

The Features list refers to all the currently available features that can be found in the Windows Community Toolkit. Most features should work with the October 2018 Update (1809) SDK 17763 and above; however, refer to specific documentation on each feature for more information.

Principles ☑️

  • Principle #1: The toolkit will be kept simple.
  • Principle #2: As soon as a comparable feature is available in the Windows SDK for Windows 10, it will be marked as deprecated.
  • Principle #3: All features will be supported for two Windows SDK for Windows 10 release cycles or until another principle supersedes it.

Roadmap 🌎

Read what we plan for next iterations, and feel free to ask questions.

By adding this (NuGet repo | Gallery) to your NuGet sources in Visual Studio, you can also get pre-release packages of upcoming versions.
