# DesktopBridgeEnvironment

Library that helps a Desktop Bridge application run both as a package and regular exe.

[NuGet Package](https://www.nuget.org/packages/DesktopBridgeEnvironment/)

A Desktop Bridge exe doesn't share the same Launch.Suspend semantics as a UWP app. This make Toast notifcations somewhat cumbersome as everytime a user reacts to a UWP notificaiton an new instance is invoked. Further, the lifetime a UWP toast can outlast the app instance. This package helps smooth over those differences between UWP and Win32.

    static void Main(string [] args)

    {

        using (var instance = new SingleInstance(ExecutionEnvironment.Current.AppId))

        {

            // make sure we are the only instance running before doing anything.

            if (instance.IsFirstInstance)

            {

                ExecutionEnvironment.Current.StartupArgs = args;

                Application.Run(new Form1());

            }

        }

    }

    

And then elsewhere in the app:

    protected override void OnLoad(EventArgs e)

    {

        if (ExecutionEnvironment.Current.IsUwp)

        {

            // do uwp form load stuff

            

            if (ExecutionEnvironment.Current.StartupArgs != null && ExecutionEnvironment.Current.StartupArgs.Length > 0)

            {

                // process Uwp notification message

            }            

        }

        else

        {

            // do win32 form load stuff

        }

        

        base.OnLoad(e);       

    }
