# XamlStraddle

A library to dual target system XAML and WinUI

## Description

This is a C++ header-only library that allows your app or library to seamlessly target either UWP XAML and WinUI 3. This is achieved via type and namespace aliases.

Currently the library can target **WinUI 3 Preview 2**.

Your app can switch from UWP XAML to WinUI 3 by defining a pre-processor variable `USE_WINUI3`.

The syntax for `packages.config` does not allow runtime conditional behavior, so your project's `packages.config` will have to include WinUI 3 (and WinUI 2 if you use it) always, and then at build time one or the other will be used.

In your msbuild project (vcxproj) file:

```xml

  

    

    

      USE_WINUI3;%(PreprocessorDefinitions)

    

    

    

      USE_WINUI3;%(PreprocessorDefinitions)

    

  

```

## How to use

Instead of including `` etc., just include ``.

Then when use the namespace aliases, e.g. instead of `winrt::Windows::UI::Xaml` (or WinUI 3's `winrt::Microsoft::UI::Xaml`) use the `xaml` alias.
