Bing WPF Maps in .NET Core

I'm trying to migrate an existing WPF .NET Framework application to .NET Core.

I have it all working except for a part that uses Bing Maps, as it is .NET Framework only.

I found a comment that suggests I might be able to use the UWP version of the maps in .NET Core, but I haven't been able to find any help on this.

Is it actually possible?

Solution

  • You should be able to host the UWP map control in a WPF application using XAML islands:
