## Background

[CrystalDiskInfo](https://github.com/hiyohiyo/CrystalDiskInfo) is one of the most famous disk health monitoring tools in the world. It is free and open source, and is still actively maintained.



This project aims at providing a mordern appearance for DiskInfo. The new design follow the guide of [Fluent Design System](https://www.microsoft.com/design/fluent/)，with flexible，adapting layout，and charming visual design.

## Build

### Solution Structure

```

DiskInfo

    \libs

        DiskInfoLib ---    C++/WinRT ports of the above DiskInfo project, to be consumed directly to UI layer (developing).

        DiskInfoTest ---       a library for testing DiskInfoLib.

        MockDiskInfo ---        Fake DiskInfoLib reference that provide sample data for UI layer test.

    DiskInfo ---               C#/WinUI 3 project that provide the UI layer of DiskInfo.

```

### WinRT port

The `DiskInfoLib` is a C++/WinRT project transformed to be able to allowed to call Win32 APIs. 

It's basically using Visual Studio's `Windows Runtime Component` project template, but with additional macros defined and additional library paths added. 

In order to be consumed by the C# project (.NET6), 

- add [cs/winrt](https://github.com/microsoft/cswinrt) NuGet package.

- add a project reference to the WinRT component project, finally add a `PropertyGroup` tag in the `csproj` file.

```xml

    DiskInfoLibWinRT

    $(OutDir)

```

## Known issues

- Debugging for winui3 under admin privilege is not fully working. For developments' convenience, it normally runs without admin previledges. (This will change when it's publish to store)

- More features coming!
