Get Data Streamer UWP App Samples

Data Streamer can receive streaming CSV data from applications using the App Service API which is a lightweight inter-app communication mechanism for Windows Applications (Win32 and Universal Windows Platform (UWP)).

The Data Streamer UWP app samples are available through repositories on GitHub. See the Microsoft Data Streamer Samples repository, which contains samples that demonstrate Universal Windows Platform (UWP) App Service API usage patterns for Data Streamer integration.
