Can I ask why you want to add UWP controls to a WASDK/WINUI project?

You need to add both dependencies together before you can use it.

You need to add both dependencies together before you can use it.

You should never have both UWP and WinUI packages installed alongside each other, as they'll interfere with each other.

• If you're in a UWP project (with or without uno), installed the *.Uwp.* package.
• If you're in a WindowsAppSDK or WinUI 3 project, install the *.WinUI.* package.
