coreclr

i have been developing winforms programs for few years.i am now looking into .NET core (including ASP.NET core MVC).i am searching for the new GUI desktop technology.in visual studio 2015 update 3 i can't see any option to make a GUI app in .NET core. what am i missing ? You're not missing anything. Currently, there is no reasonable way to create GUI applications directly using .Net Core. Though UWP (Universal Windows Platform) is partially built on top of .Net Core. Also, .Net Core 3.0 (daily builds are already available) will include support for Winforms and WPF, though it will be Windows

On "normal" .NET assemblies targeting .NET Framework 4, I can use AppDomain.CurrentDomain.GetAssemblies() to get a list of all loaded assemblies. How to do this on a Windows Universal App or on a CoreCLR application? One way to kinda do what you want is to get the DLLs/assemblies which is located in the folder in which your app is installed (which one can assume in some cases is being used/loaded in your app). public static async Task<List<Assembly>> GetAssemblyList() { List<Assembly> assemblies = new List<Assembly>(); var files = await Windows.ApplicationModel.Package.Current

I think this is a compiler bug. The following console application compiles und executes flawlessly when compiled with VS 2015: namespace ConsoleApplication1 { class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { var x = MyStruct.Empty; } public struct MyStruct { public static readonly MyStruct Empty = new MyStruct(); } } } But now it's getting weird: This code compiles, but it throws a TypeLoadException when executed. namespace ConsoleApplication1 { class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { var x = MyStruct.Empty; } public struct MyStruct { public static readonly MyStruct? Empty = null; }
