📦 NuGet Packages

NuGet is a standard package manager for .NET applications which is built into Visual Studio. When you open solution in Visual Studio, choose the Tools menu > NuGet Package Manager > Manage NuGet packages for solution… 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

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