Enable Electron.NET on Startup

To do so, use the UseElectron extension method on a WebApplicationBuilder, an IWebHostBuilder or any descendants.

Note

New in Electron.NET Core is that you provide a callback method as an argument to UseElectron(), which ensures that you get to know the right moment to set up your application UI.

Program.cs

using ElectronNET.API;
using ElectronNET.API.Entities;

    public static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        WebHost.CreateDefaultBuilder(args)
            .UseElectron(args, ElectronAppReady)
            .UseStartup<Startup>()
            .Build()
            .Run();
    }

   public static async Task ElectronAppReady()
    {
        var browserWindow = await Electron.WindowManager.CreateWindowAsync(
            new BrowserWindowOptions { Show = false });

        browserWindow.OnReadyToShow += () => browserWindow.Show();
    }
