🧰 Windows Community Toolkit

The Windows Community Toolkit is a collection of helper functions, custom controls, and app services. It simplifies and demonstrates common developer patterns when building experiences for Windows 10 and Windows 11. It contains components and helpers for both UWP and WinUI 3/WinAppSDK applications. Find out more about our support for WinUI 3 here.

Note: Our general helpers for .NET are now the .NET Community Toolkit, including the MVVM Toolkit.

📫 Features

The Features list refers to all the currently available features that can be found in the Windows Community Toolkit. Most features should work with the October 2018 Update (1809) SDK 17763 and above; however, refer to specific documentation on each feature for more information.

💠 Principles

The toolkit will be kept simple.
As soon as a comparable feature is available in the Windows SDK for Windows, it will be marked as deprecated.
All features will be supported for two Windows SDK for Windows release cycles or until another principle supersedes it.

🌍 Roadmap
