Windows App Studio UWP Controls This library contains the UWP/XAML controls used in Windows App Studio to create responsive Windows 10 apps. This library encapsulates different XAML controls used to represent information in the apps as well as other base application services like caching, navigation and commands.

Windows App Studio Data Providers This library enables the applications to retrieve information from several Internet services (aka data sources), define the schema of the information, handle the data parsing, and manages the complexity of the authorization for those data sources that require it.

Windows App Studio’s NuGet PackagesWe currently have two published NuGet packages for Windows App Studio Libraries:

Windows App Studio UWP Samples App

Explore the libraries hands-on

The UWP Samples app shows each of the controls and data sources in the Windows App Studio NuGet packages.

Each component in the libraries will have an about section, a settings section where you can see the effects of changing attributes, and also copy the code.

Each of these components are open-source and can be used in your projects, with or without attribution.
