The Visual Studio Project for Windows Runtime resides in a separate folder MapControl/WinRT, because it needs to have its own Themes/Generic.xaml file. Output is generated to ../bin. This folder also contains the file MapControl.WinRT.xr.xml, which overwrites the generated file in the output folder. This is to remove the XML namespace declaration on the element, which prevents a .NET Native build of a Universal Windows App that uses the MapControl.WinRT portable library.
