About this tag
C#/WinRT provides WinRT projection support for .NET 5 based apps, enabling developers to call Windows Runtime APIs from C#. The Windows SDK leverages this technology and is integrated with the .NET 5.0 SDK to expose Windows APIs through Target Framework Monikers. C#/WinRT also allows component authors to build their own .NET 5 projections. Recent releases include version 1.0 alongside .NET 5 GA and version 0.8 with .NET 5 RC2, which achieved feature completeness for consumption scenarios. The project aims for parity with .NET Native and .NET Core 3, and is used in scenarios like WinUI 3 desktop apps, where XAML Islands and full XAML UI hosting are discussed.
