Hello,
Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!

Could you please help us to Convert/Port C++/Winrt UWP application to WinUI3 compatible.

I have to say there is no tool to convert winrt UWP application to WinUI3 directly, you need to port your code manually include user interface (UI) code, and here is document about migration notice.

Thank you.

Hi Team,

Thanks for the reply,

I was using the below link technique to convert C++/Winrt UWP application to nuget package using the C# projection.
Can i continue with this technique?
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/csharp-winrt/net-projection-from-cppwinrt-component

Note: My requirement is to use/refer C++/Winrt UWP application to WInUI3 application.

WinUI3 can only create production desktop apps that target Windows 10 and later. if your previous app is UWP, you need to use WinUI2 nuget package to migrate User interface, for more please refer this document.

HI Team,

I am trying to create a nuget package using the C# projection by referring this below link.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/csharp-winrt/net-projection-from-cppwinrt-component

In that above link they have explained everything using .net core app.

But in my case, the project which i wanted to create a C# projection is on .net framework and class library(UWP).
Could you please guide me how to create a nuget package for the above case.

Hi Team,

We have been using the below method to convert the C++/WinRT UWP to .net projection nuget package.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/csharp-winrt/net-projection-from-cppwinrt-component

The projection C# project is building successfuly with below error.

We are able to generate the nuget package also, But nuget package namespace is not at all accessible when we have the reference of that nuget package.

Please look into this on priority.
