Windows requirements

Device family	Windows 10 (introduced in 10.0.10240.0)
API contract	Windows.Foundation.UniversalApiContract (introduced in v1.0)

Remarks

CompositionTarget events are useful for rendering scenarios like:

synchronizing DirectX interop rendering using the Rendering event
measuring frame rendering time using the Rendered event
regenerating custom visual content on screen in response to the SurfaceContentsLost event, for example regenerating a RenderTargetBitmap or DirectX interop content in a SurfaceImageSource

For scenarios that don't involve custom rendering or frame time measurement you probably won't need CompositionTarget and can just rely on the XAML rendering system running and performing all your composition and layout.

Events

Rendered	Occurs immediately after the core rendering process renders a frame. This event lets you determine how long each frame takes to render.
Rendering	Occurs when the core rendering process renders a frame.
SurfaceContentsLost	Occurs when an underlying major change occurs, such as a DirectX device change. Typically the application must regenerate its surface contents when notified of this event.
