Talk: The Universal Windows Platform - One codebase for Mobile, Desktop, IoT, Xbox, Hololens, etc.

On the 14th of January I gave a talk at a local technology meetup in Linz called Technologieplauscherl about the Universal Windows Platform. This post is the written form of the talk, which was intended for people who do not know UWP, but have a strong background in software development (and it's even better if you have some knowledge about C#/XAML based development).

Porting a Windows 8 Store app to the Universal Windows Platform

Back in 2012 I published a small Windows Store app called PassworWallet, which already had a few thousand downloads over the years and when Windows 10 came out the daily 5-10 downloads went up to 15-20, so I thought it's time to release an update, so the last days I updated it to UWP. This post summarizes the update process.

Marshalling Jagged Arrays from CLR to Native

This week I was working on some stuff where I calculated some values in C# and I wanted to send it to a native C++ layer to use the values there. The data was originally stored in a Dictionary<int List<long>>. As soon as I realised that I want to work with this in C++ it was clear that the Dictinary and the List classes are not the best, so instead of the C# collections I used a C# jagged array and I hoped that the framework can marshal it automatically. Well I was naive…

Classes with long initialization process implemented with Tasks in C#

When I work on Windows 8 Apps I often have the situation where I have a class which has a longer initialization process (e.g. deserialising some state from the file system, loading data over the network, make some complicated calculation, etc). One solution would be to write a public 'initialize' method and call it first to initialize the class. The problem with this is that it is…
