DesignerAppManager Class

Definition

Namespace:

Windows.UI.Xaml.Hosting

Manages an application in a XAML design surface that runs in a regular UWP context, compared to the legacy designer which uses the XamlUIPresenter and runs in a Win32 process. The process is required to specify the NoUIEntryPoints-DesignModeV2 DisplayName property in the .APPX in order to be activated successfully in this mode. The launched application will not show up in the TaskBar or TaskView switcher.

CreateNewViewAsync(DesignerAppViewState, Size)	Creates a new DesignerAppView.
Dispose()	Performs application-defined tasks associated with freeing, releasing, or resetting unmanaged resources.
LoadObjectIntoAppAsync(String, Guid, String)	Loads the specified object into the app.
