This sample demonstrates ways of writing an app which adapts to the version of Windows it is running on, taking advantage of new features if available, and falling back to a simpler version if not.
Common to all samples
- Detecting whether a specific runtime class, property, event, method, or enumerated value is available.
- Executing code conditionally based on whether an API is present.
- Choosing between two versions of a control based on whether an API is present.
- Using a visual state trigger to set a property based on whether an API is present. (XAML only)
Note The Windows universal samples require Visual Studio 2015 to build and Windows 10 to execute.
