Projection sample

Shows how to display two different views of your app UI on different screens, as users might do when projecting your app in a meeting or conference.

Note: This sample is part of a large collection of UWP feature samples. If you are unfamiliar with Git and GitHub, you can download the entire collection as a ZIP file, but be sure to unzip everything to access shared dependencies. For more info on working with the ZIP file, the samples collection, and GitHub, see Get the UWP samples from GitHub. For more samples, see the Samples portal on the Windows Dev Center.

The sample demonstrates:

• Displaying two different views of your app on different screens.
• Starting, stopping and swapping views.
• Using ProjectionManager and ApplicationViewSwitcher APIs.
• Enumerating available screens to project to and projecting a view of your app to a specific one.
