PROFILE
Himanshi Goyal
Worked on the dotnet/wpf repository to modernize the codebase, enhance platform compatibility, and improve WPF application reliability. Delivered features such as shorthand XAML syntax for Grid definitions using new TypeConverter classes and upgraded build systems to target newer .NET frameworks. Addressed code analysis warnings by refactoring string handling and aligning with EditorConfig and Roslyn analyzer standards. Fixed bugs related to error handling in Windows API integration, including Desktop Window Manager crash containment. Applied C# language features like pattern matching and nameof() for maintainability, focusing on performance optimization, exception handling, and reducing runtime errors across C# and XML codebases.

Feb 1, 2026February 2026 — dotnet/wpf: Focused on stabilizing interactions with the Desktop Window Manager by containing DWM-related crashes and improving error handling. Delivered a targeted bug fix to DwmExtendFrameIntoClientArea, introduced a DisableDWMCrashContainment switch, and updated error handling (SetLastError) to ensure graceful failure modes and easier diagnosis. These changes reduce crash surface when DWM is involved, improving reliability and user experience for WPF applications, and align with PR #11417.
