Hi, As far as I know, WinUI 3 is designed around XAML, so there isn't really a supported way to build a WinUI 3 application completely without it.
You can create and manipulate UI elements from C# code instead of defining them in XAML, but the framework itself still relies on XAML infrastructure. If your goal is to avoid XAML entirely, it might be worth sharing why, as there may be a better-suited UI framework depending on your use case.
