Building apps using Windows Template Studio

To quickly get started building UWP apps, Microsoft has created the Windows Template Studio extension for Visual Studio. We will use it to create a new app that shows some of its features and good practices.

Installing Windows Template Studio

Navigate to Tools | Extensions and Updates..., select Online, enter Windows Template Studio in the search box, and click on Download, and then Close, as shown in the following screenshot:

Exit Visual Studio 2017, and wait for the extension to install using the VSIX Installer.

Note

Currently, Windows Template Studio gets confused when used in a solution with multiple projects, so I recommend that you always create projects with it in a new solution. After the project is created, you can then manually add it to another solution.
