WinBridge Solution

Overview

WinBridge is a modular desktop application built on the Onion Architecture principle. It provides a robust platform for managing and connecting to various server protocols through a unified interface.

Architecture

The solution is organized into three distinct layers:

1. WinBridge.Core (Inner Circle)

   • Contains domain models, interfaces, and protocol buffers.
   • Has no dependencies on external business logic or UI.

2. WinBridge.SDK (Middle Layer)

   • Provides the development kit for third-party modules.
   • Depends on Core.

3. WinBridge.App (Outer Layer)

   • The main executable (WinUI 3).
   • Composes dependencies and hosts modules.

🚀 Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Windows 10 (1809) or Windows 11
• Visual Studio 2022 (with .NET Desktop Development & WinUI 3 templates)
• .NET 10 SDK (or later)

Installation

1. Clone the repository :

   git clone [https://github.com/remi-deher/WinBridge.git](https://github.com/remi-deher/WinBridge.git)
   cd WinBridge
   

2. First-time Setup (Important): Run the setup script to restore dependencies in the correct order :

.\setup.ps1

(This prevents NuGet restoration errors on a fresh clone)

3. Open WinBridge.slnx in Visual Studio and hit F5 !

Build

To build the entire solution :

dotnet build

Structure

• WinBridge.Core/: Foundational definitions.
• WinBridge.SDK/: Developer toolkit for creating modules.
• WinBridge.App/: The end-user desktop application.
