Uno Community Toolkit WinUI

[esobrino]

Created an Uno WinUI project and...

I added the "Uno.CommunityToolkit.WinUI.UI.Controls" in the "Wasm" project and tests successfully, it is coded as follows:

tk:DataGrid
tk:DataGrid.Columns
<tk:DataGridTextColumn Header="Rank" />
<tk:DataGridComboBoxColumn Header="Mountain" />
</tk:DataGrid.Columns>
</tk:DataGrid>

The above is GOOD.

Now, I am trying the same thing in the "Windows" project but I keep getting "... CommunityToolkit' could not be found in the global namespace...". I included the same library ("Uno.CommunityToolkit.WinUI.UI.Controls").

Can someone provide some clues?

Please provide a repro sample of what you're trying. Thanks!

The test I was doing is not much. For now, I am concentrating in 2 targets "Wasm" and "Windows" only.

I performed the following steps:

1. Create an Uno WinUI project following steps in "dotnet new unoapp-winui-net6 -o MyUnoApp" as detailed in "https://platform.uno/docs/articles/get-started-winui3.html".
2. Added the "Uno.CommunityToolkit.WinUI.UI.Controls" library to both "Wasm" and "Windows" projects.
3. Added a User-Control in the Shared area as shown in the provided UserControl1.txt file.
4. Compiled and test in "Wasm"... all good.
5. Compiled in "Windows" and got "Windows" project but I keep getting "... CommunityToolkit' could not be found in the global namespace..." error so I couldn't test it.

Thats it.

Thanks. "Not much" is generally the important part where details matter. Make sure to follow the directions here: https://platform.uno/docs/articles/uno-community-toolkit.html?tabs=tabid-vswin

Those directions apply to the UWP heads, but you can do the same with the WinUI heads.

The quick response is greatly appreciated!

I did use that reference for my example. I finally got it to work properly... my confusion was related to how to reference the assembly in XAML, but following the instructions you just use "using:CommunityToolKit.WinUI.UI.Controls" for both "Wasm" and "Windows".

All working now!
