GH4720: Use non-boolean self-contained arguments for dotnet publish. by peymanr34 · Pull Request #4722 · cake-build/cake This PR replaces the boolean self-contained arguments with their non-boolean counterparts: Value Before After SelfContained = true --self-contained true --self-contained SelfContained = fa...

I did a thing:

WinUI 3 in Windows 10 is really broken... The placeholder text placement is wrong and there is something wrong with stack panel that causes the text to not lineup properly. #WinUI

It took me a long time to figure out how to get the product info from a Windows Installer (.msi) file but I learnt a lot about native stuff which absolutely worth it. #dotnet #winui

github.com/peymanr34/in...

This probably works:

Get-AppxPackage | Where-Object -Property IsDevelopmentMode -eq True | Remove-AppxPackage -Confirm

Maybe I've stared at it too much but DataGridView (In .NET 7.0+) has extra contrast in the border lines which I find very distracting.

I haven't found a easy workaround for this yet.

Please upvote if you agree with me. #dotnet #winforms

This is a first... Maybe I should stop P/Invoking stuff since I really don't know what I'm doing.

I really hate showing dialogs in #WinUI

I truly hate this feature, but it's nice to have the option for people who want it.

I was working on replacing FolderBrowserDialog with FolderPicker in my WinForms app (.NET Framework 4.8) but not having SelectedPath property was a deal breaker for me.

I guess I have to wait until I migrate to .NET 10 or later which already has the *better* FolderBrowserDialog. #dotnet

Thanks to @dotmorten.xaml.dev my app is now complete with a proper tray icon. #dotnet #winuiex

If you want your WinUI app to launch to the tray, and optionally add a context menu to the tray, it is now SUPER simple with WinUIEx!

Awesome! thanks very much.

Actually that was the first thing I did, but when the Window is not WindowEx it still throws an exception.

This sample doesn't work:
github.com/peymanr34/Wi...

And as soon as I change the Window to inherit from WindowEx, works as expected:

github.com/peymanr34/Wi...

The MainWindow wasn't a WindowEx so it didn't have an icon.

It would be nice if I could set the icon myself or the WindowManager could somehow get it from the app itself.

Otherwise works like a charm!

Absolutely! since I don't already use WinUIEx I need to figure out why the icon didn't show up first.

Yes please!

The worst part is when you don't know which email you signed up with and when you enter the wrong email it creates a new account.

I can't believe System[.]Text[.]Json can't deserialize these to DateTime on its own! #dotnet

KB5001716 is basically a malware at this point, no matter how may times you uninstall it, it will come back.

Write to a temp file then move?

Voted, thanks.

So... WinUI doesn't have SharedSizeGroup.
<sigh>

Having been frustrated with many blogging systems, I finally rolled out my own custom (markdown) blog. I'm slowly migrating the posts over.

I'm surprised no one said VR

Nice! If you make the following change to your WinUI app, replacing the meta pacakge with just the WinUI and Packages package, you'll significantly reduce the size of your WinUI app!

What!! I've been using Ctrl, + for this :(
