• Cosmetic fixes to README for OCR sample.
• SpeechRecognitionAndSynthesis sample:
  • JavaScript sample failed to re-enable drop down box in scenarios 1 and 2.
  • C# sample crashed if unable to activate microphone.
• PasswordVault sample:
  • JavaScript sample crashed trying to delete nonexistent credential
  • JavaScript sample didn't actually initialize the PasswordVault in the background.
  • Fix misleading comments.
  • Demonstrate RetrievePassword method.
  • Rework the UI so it feels more like a sample.
• NFC sample:
  • Auto-responds to SELECT APDU and not to READ RECORD APDU. This more closely models how apps in the real world behave.
  • Fix deadlock if user taps quickly on an NFC reader. (SmartCardEmulator::Start() can raise the ConnectionDeactivated event on the same thread as IBackgroundTask::Run(). Since an SRWLock cannot promote a reader lock into a writer lock, calling LockShared() in the Run() method and LockExclusive() in the ConnectionDeactivated event handler will cause a deadlock.)
• New scenario in XamlListView sample which demonstrates use of ListViewPersistenceHelper to restore a list's scroll position.
• Added C++ version of BasicFaceDetection sample.
• Fix broken Trademark links in samples template.
• New samples: Calendar, DisablingScreenCapture, GlobalizationPreferences

• Fix build issues in BackgroundTasks sample.
• Remove references to unused/nonexistent CSS files in various samples. (Thanks, getsetbro.)
• Update SplashScreen sample to use Canvas to get proper layout and position the image properly. (Thanks, shinsenai.)

Windows 10 Samples Release

This release contains the Universal Windows Platform samples for APIs in the Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) for Windows 10 at RTM. These code samples were created with the Universal Windows templates available in Visual Studio, and are designed to run on desktop, mobile, and future devices that support the Universal Windows Platform

There are over 180 samples, covering the breadth of Universal Windows Platform APIs with support in multiple languages such as C#, C++, and JavaScript.

The samples use Linked files in Visual Studio to reduce duplication of common files, including sample template files and image assets. These common files are stored in the SharedContent folder at the root of the repository and referred to in the project files using links. To use the samples you need to extract the entire zip file including the SharedContent folder

Build the samples

1. If you download the samples ZIP, make sure that you unzip the entire archive.
2. Start Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 and select File > Open > Project/Solution.
3. Go to the directory to which you unzipped the samples archive, go to the Samples subdirectory, then the subdirectory named for this sample, then the subdirectory containing the sample in the language you desire. Double-click the Visual Studio 2015 Solution (.sln) file.
4. Press Ctrl+Shift+B, or select Build > Build Solution.
