Microsoft today pushed out version 3.0 of its open-source Windows Template Studio, bringing a handful of tweaks for developers to check out. The additional features are pretty small in nature, but the biggest is likely that code will now generate as a "multi-project solution."
Here's a rundown of what's new, along with the developer platform updates:
- Code now generates as a multi-project solution. This will enable better reuse and separation of code logic. This now will output a UWP project and .NET Core project.
- Support adding new projects on right click
- Horizontal Navigation View is replaced the Pivot navigation pattern.
- Update MVVMLight to use .NET Standard library
