Controls

MapControls	Windows 10, version 1809	Enables a symbolic or photorealistic map in your Windows Forms or WPF desktop application.

WebView Notice

WebView2 will replace the WebView control in the toolkit, as laid out in the introduction to WebView2 here. This means that we've deprecated the WebView control within the Toolkit and are working with the Edge team to convey all the requirements from the open issues here.

Over the next few months, they'll be processing the open requests to ensure the scenarios folks are using WebView for will be supported with its replacement in the future. You can provide feedback directly to the Edge team here. Thank you for using WebView!

Contributing

Do you want to contribute? Here are our contribution guidelines.

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.

This project has adopted the code of conduct defined by the Contributor Covenant to clarify expected behavior in our community. For more information see the .NET Foundation Code of Conduct.
