Universal Windows Platform (UWP). It has delicate UI by XAML. But it can not support a lot of WIN32 function. That is why we need UWP extention to unlimited it ability.
- Paltform: visual studio 2019
- Function describe: UWP through Windows Desktop Extensions for the UWP tool side loading winform.
- Compile sample: UWP can not run at any CPU, and target should set Windows Application Packaging Project.
For just sideload other app
This UWP_extention can side loading winform by using
FullTrustProcessLauncher.LaunchFullTrustProcessForCurrentAppAsync().Modify WapProj/Package.appxmanifest by adding extensions in Windows Application Packaging Project.

Add and cover this in UWP/App.xmal.cs
