The library offers a simple class to detect if a desktop application is running as native or as converted inside the UWP container.

Example code:

public bool IsRunningAsUwp()
{
    DesktopBridge.Helpers helpers = new DesktopBridge.Helpers();
    return helpers.IsRunningAsUwp();
}

The repository contains also a sample for eery major .NET desktop technology:

• Windows Forms
• WPF
• Console application

Important! The sample projects are based on Visual Studio 15 Preview and the Desktop Bridge extension

The library is available also on NuGet: https://www.nuget.org/packages/DesktopBridge.Helpers/

The library currently supports every application developed with .NET Framework >=4.0

Thanks to Raffaele Rialdi for the help with understanding how to properly use the P/Invoke approach
