Can't reference CommunityToolkit.WinUI with latest VS 2022, updated packages and WinUI 3 project template

[madtownchris]

I just started tinkering with WinUI 3 so have downloaded and installed the latest VS 2022 update packages for WinUI workloads and all that.

Using the New project > Win UI 3 blank app with windows packaging, I create a new app with a single button which runs fine.

Using the package manager, I add CommunityToolkit.WinUI.Controls.Sizers (8.1.240916)

If I try to reference CommunityToolkit. the completions only show Common and Helpers; I see no WinUI available.

I tried installing more of the CommunityToolkit nuget packages to no avail.

@madtownchris Could you try to use the 8.2-preview release? In the Nuget package manager, check the checkbox that says "include prelease"

Well maybe I was doing something wrong. It seems to be working now after much fooling around with the csproj. I think it may have been my error (compounded by relying too much on copilot which led me astray).
