Which UI?

Hey Guys,
since it seems to be impossible from an Console App to get an Discord Authentication i will try to rebuild it.
Which UI Framework should be the best to archive my goals?
Goals:
Discord Oauth Login
Starting Console Apps via the UI
And maybe showing some data

You definitely don't need a UI framework to get Discord authentication.

It depends, do you want a cross-platform one?

Heartbeat1OP•8/13/22, 4:51 PM

no only windows

Do you plan to support older versions of Windows, or are you fine with Windows 10+?

Heartbeat1OP•8/13/22, 4:52 PM

yeah thats more then enough. It supporting a game that needs atleast windows 10

Then you might want to check out WinUI 3 or UWP

Heartbeat1OP•8/13/22, 4:52 PM

okay, which of these two would you prefer?

Starlk•8/13/22, 4:53 PM

I'd say UWP because it is older and is more mature IMO, WinUI 3 is quite new

Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF):

Has a lot of resources online due to how old it is.
There are a lot of UI libraries for it
No longer maintained, as in, didn't receive any major updates since a long time.

Universal Windows Platform (UWP):

Fast, and has a small binary size.
Has a nice UI out of the box (And also there's WinUI 2.7 to achieve Windows 11's looks and feel).
Is packaged and requires a developer license.

Avalonia:

Cross-platform and is under active development.
Relatively new, so there are not a lot of online resources for it.

Note: All of the mentioned GUI frameworks are XAML-based.

okay thanks for the info then i will check both

Heartbeat1OP•8/13/22, 4:54 PM

a probably the developer license will be a neck breaker ...

Starlk•8/13/22, 4:54 PM

I would go with WPF then

Starlk•8/13/22, 4:55 PM

Although the license is just $20, that is if you want to publish to the MS Store

Heartbeat1OP•8/13/22, 4:55 PM

ahh okay,it didnt need an publish to the store

Heartbeat1OP•8/13/22, 4:55 PM

i will check all 3 then and then decide

Starlk•8/13/22, 4:56 PM

then WinUI 3 and WPF are the ones you should consider
