* LRPTests was a VS2019 project. Fixed to use VS2022 * LRPTests depends on WindowsAppRuntime_DLL and WindowsAppRuntime_BootstrapDLL but didn't declare project depednencies so build-out-of-order and 'can't find MddBootstrap.h' errors :-( Fixed * 2 different versions of WIL were referenced across the repo; updated to the latest one for consistency. Ditto for C++/WinRT. * test\ToastNotificiations\ToastNotificationsTests.vcxproj is gone (bad merge?). Fixed * Test_DeploymentManagerAutoIntiialize\CPP\* projects were missing a dependency on WindowsAppRuntime_DLL so they could be built before dev\Deployment\*.idl was compiled and thus can't find the DeploymentInitializeOptions type; added missing dependency to ensure build order |

Welcome to MRT Core!
Overview
What is MRT Core?
Thanks for asking! MRT Core was born from the need for Windows App SDK applications to use MRT - Modern Resource Technology. MRT was introduced to Windows in the Windows 8 timeframe and has evolved as the resource management system since that time. You can use these links to learn more about MRT and resource management as well as the benefits of globalization and localization.
If you're looking for Core MRT, you're in the right place! Internal project naming was Core MRT and so some of our external communication has also used that terminology - sorry for any confusion! But rest assured, Core MRT or MRT Core, you're in the right place! 😉
So what does it do?
At its core 😎 MRT Core provides support to build resource Package Resource Index (PRI) files, and load resources from PRI files. Learn more about PRI files at this link.
Getting Started
Install the NuGet package from https://aka.ms/MRTCore, and you are ready to build PRI files from Visual Studio and use MRT Core APIs to load resources in your app.
The C APIs can be found in mrm.h. The WinRT APIs can be found in Microsoft.Windows.ApplicationModel.Resources.idl.
Build and Test
Load MrtCore.sln in Visual Studion 2019, and build the solution.
Run the tests in Test Explorer.
