how do we get the display size automatically ? without hardcode

@faisalkkv You could just use WinUIEx's myWindow.CenterOnScreen(); method without needing dimensions https://github.com/dotMorten/WinUIEx/blob/main/docs/concepts/WindowExtensions.md#window-extension-methods

@LanceMcCarthy unable to use using WinUIEx; namespace in App.xaml.cs , its not compatible with .ne6-ios and android

@faisalkkv You're probably in the wrong file. that code goes into MauiProgram.cs, not App.xaml.cs

also, make sure you use @if statements for the windows-only code:

If you're not sure what is going on, check out the winUIEx docs https://github.com/dotMorten/WinUIEx/blob/main/docs/concepts/Maui.md

@LanceMcCarthy Thanks for you support, its done !!!!

@faisalkkv woot! Just in case it's helpful, I have checked in a full example in one of my demo repositories.
