+## XAML Islands Notice
+The set of WPF and WinForms controls found here are _only designed to work with .NET Core 3.1_, **not** .NET 5 and above. These controls are using the XAML Islands Windows 10 APIs included within the Windows 10 OS which won't be improved anymore. 
+
+WinUI 3's XAML Islands is the path forward to these .NET apps that want to use .NET 5 and WinUI. WinUI 3's XAML Islands are still in development, and we recommend reviewing the [WinUI 3 roadmap](https://github.com/Microsoft/microsoft-ui-xaml/blob/master/docs/roadmap.md) to get the latest updates. This repository will be archived once WinUI 3's XAML Islands is released.
+
+In the meantime, we suggest you investigate WinUI 3 Desktop as a solution to access Win32 APIs while using the latest native UX platform. See [here](https://aka.ms/winui3) for more details.
