Behaviors SDK Not available in Vs2017

Question

I've developed a UWP project with Behaviors SDK in VS2015 (Windows 10).

Then I've installed VS2017 and tried to run the app without any changes. Unfortunately I'm getting below error for Behaviors SDK.

Are there any solution or workaround for this problem?

Answer 1

You should use the Microsoft.Xaml.Behaviors.Uwp.Managed nuget package instead (or Microsoft.Xaml.Behaviors.Uwp.Native if you develop your application in C++). The source code of these packages are available on GitHub.

Behaviors SDK was created for WinRT projects (Windows 8.0/8.1). Microsoft.Xaml.Behaviors.Uwp.Managed package seems to be a recommended replacement for the Behaviors SDK for the UWP applications (even in VS2015).
