Sounds like I will be able to use the SDK style for UWP apps soon. Also good job on the Win32 code generator! Finally I don't have to deal with P/Invoke and overwhelming MSDN documentation for a tiny insignificant Win32 API call.

Exactly, hopefully submit apps with this into Windows Store

Is there any GeolocationDemoApp example in GitHub? I can't reproduce it - got to many errors like "The type or namespace name 'Window' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?).

This project is underrated. I love this project.

Will we be able to catch COM EVENTS with this?

[@SasukeUchiha-mj2vh]

Is it pInvoke itself (old DLL Import)? So does it have any restrictions on use C++ Win32 API's like low level disk/io etc.?

My big question with using WinRT libraries is this: can I use the API and controls of UWP in my WPF without installing the massive 10GB Windows SDK?

Great vid! Thanks

I'm getting the following exception with the ToastNotificationManager line: System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException: 'Element not found. (0x80070490)'

[@AdamsTaiwan]

I tried the github samples, but would like to have a github single sample project using "Microsoft.Windows.CsWinRT" and Toast Notification.
