Its neccesary using System.Windows.Forms; for design uwp app(LiveCharts2) #189

Hi, I was looking at the examples in this package and it turns out that the uwpsample project links another project (ViewModelSamples) viewmodel to the WinFormsSample.Axes.Shared project from winforms.

my question is, does this create compatibility problems? can I publish the app with windows forms uwp in the store? is there a way to display the charts without this reference?

@HumbertoML this is by design, you should not face any issue.

is there a way to display the charts without this reference?

Answer: Yes, it is not required, that structure helps me to build the library faster.

This structure of the projects helps to share the code at the ViewModelSamples project in all the samples projects, this is a common pattern.

There are multiple places where you can learn about it, this is a good start:

When the site is published, everything will be easier, but for now this structure helps me to build the library faster.

I will close this issue for now, feel free to open a new one if you require it.
