### Requirements

- Visual Studio

- Windows App SDK

- Windows App SDK (For VS 2022 C#) : https://aka.ms/windowsappsdk/stable-vsix-2022-cs or Windows App SDK (For VS 2019 C#) : https://aka.ms/windowsappsdk/stable-vsix-2019-cs

You can find more information in here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/apps/windows-app-sdk/set-up-your-development-environment?tabs=vs-2022

Because the included example docking window uses webview 2 you will also need to install Webview2 Evergreen Runtime (https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/webview2/?form=MA13LH) or simply remove (comment out) the webview from code
