    I just tested and I could create a simple window and add a Button for the test
    I created a .NET 5 VB project then I added a package and copied the Main function from the DemoBuildCs MS sample (for the DispatcherQueue) + minimum code from App and MainWindow classes
    But I could not use Microsoft.UI.Xaml.Application.LoadComponent ("Xaml parsing failed" error, I probably missed something...)

    WinUI 3 will work with every kind of Windows app! WinUI 3 can be used directly as the UI layer for Win32 and UWP apps, or it can be used to modernize a Win32 app's UI gradually, using XAML Islands to mix and match with the following technologies:
    -WPF
    -WinForms
    -MFC
    -ComCtl32
