Thanks for attending September’s Windows Community Standup Thanks everyone for attending and asking some fantastic questions. We strive to answer all questions and be transparent with both what we are building and why we are building them. Kevin’s next Windows Community Standup will be on October 10th, 2017 at Windows Developer Day! Kevin showed off how .NET Standard 2.0 works in a Universal Windows Platform Application by showing SqlClient code being used directly from a classic WinForm application, dragging those files into the UWP app’s code base and just running the application! Kevin also showed off some of the advances inside Windows Ink that developers can take advantage of today. Shape recognition and much more!
