GUI and threading have been a very common issue in PowerShell. I hope this release makes it easy and approachable.

Oh right, PowerShell source generator should also work. I want to try incremental generator myself for learning first though it looks like it's hard to find good examples. Thanks!

Supporting all UI elements will take a lot of time as I need to learn the source generator but let me know if you have any specific UI element added earlier.

Anyone know good resource on C# source/incremental generator?

WinUIShell v0.5.0 has been published including the XamlReader support. Now you can create a WinUI 3 window by loading XAML similar to WPF in PowerShell.

github.com/mdgrs-mei/Wi...

Next, a bit of multi-threading support and full API implementation using source generator.
