How To Get the Sample Browser Working

[Mark]

When you install the latest Syncfusion WinUI 3 it comes with a Sample Browser solution that you can build and run locally.  Awesome!  That way you can learn about all of the controls and most important learn from the original source code used to create that Sample Browser.

Only one problem:  It won't build and run. ha ha  That's because Syncfusion STILL has not fixed a prior problem I already reported:  THE INSTALLATION PATHS ARE TOO LONG.  The fix is easy:  copy the SampleBrowser folder to something near the root, e.g. c:\SF\SampleBrowser\...

The second problem that will prevent the Sample Browser from running is that the MicroSoft.VCRTForwarders.140 does not have the minimal version defined.  This is also an easy fix.  In the 

...\SampleBrowser\SampleBrowser\syncfusion.samplebrowser.winui_net50.csproj  project file change:
<PackageReference Include="Microsoft.VCRTForwarders.140" />
to 
<PackageReference Include="Microsoft.VCRTForwarders.140" Version="[1.0.3, )" />
(note the square left bracket and the comma space and then right parentheses)   

As shown below:

  <ItemGroup>

    <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.VCRTForwarders.140" Version="[1.0.3, )"/>

    <PackageReference Include="Syncfusion.Gauge.WinUI" Version="19.4.0.48" />

    <PackageReference Include="Syncfusion.Sliders.WinUI" Version="19.4.0.48" />

    <PackageReference Include="PInvoke.User32" Version="0.7.104" />

    <Manifest Include="$(ApplicationManifest)" />

  </ItemGroup>

After these two simple changes the solution should build and run like a charm!
