RPI Windows 10 IoT Sample Project

To create a simple Hello Word application under Windows 10 IoT Core, Visual Studio 2022 or newer version is needed. Visual Studio must be installed with the Universal Windows Platform development extension (figure 1).

Step 1
Create a new UWP project by choosing the Windows Universal/Blank App Project (figure 2).

Step 2
Configure your new project (according to Raspberry Pi Windows 10 IoT Core build version) is presented in figure 3.

Step 3
Choose the Target version of your device platform which Windows IoT Core will support, as in figure 4.

Step 4
Create App1 solution (figure 5).

Step 5
Design the application screen by modifying the MainPage.xaml file. To add different screen features, use the Toolbox/All XAML controls (figure 6).

Step 6
Modify the MainPage.cs file content if you need control events programming (figure 7).

Step 7
Compile and run Hello solution. Choosing the Solution Platform for the x86 user will be able to debug and run the Hello application on the computer's desktop emulator. This step is useful for program touchscreen design but cannot test the sensors and controls programming due to software emulator restrictions (figure 8).

Software emulators aren't capable of simulating their behaviour. Instead, the Solution Platform must be changed to the ARM platform in the VC Solution Configuration property to use sensors and controls. The application package must be transferred to the real IoT device to debug. Correct configuration is present in the figure 9.

Step 8
The user must configure the debug application settings to deploy and debug the application package on the real IoT device. In the Debug property page, the user must enter the proper Remote IoT device IP number (figure 10).

Step 9
Start debugging the application, and after deploying the application package to the board SD card, it will be displayed on the monitor: Hello application is present in figure 11 and debugging view in figure 12.
