Getting Started

Install the package

dotnet add package Tudormobile.WpfApp

Prerequisites

NONE

Dependencies

When using the application host, the following dependencies are required:

• Microsoft.Extensions.Hosting
• Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection

Configure and Run the application

Minimal Configuration

using Tudormobile.Wpf;

var builder = WpfApp.CreateBuilder();
var app = builder.Build();

app.Run();

Inlcuding library provided services

using Tudormobile.Wpf;

var builder = WpfApp.CreateBuilder()
                .AddMainWindow<MainWindow>();

var app = builder.Build();
app.Start<MainWindow>();

Using the Application Host and DI container

using Tudormobile.Wpf;

var builder = WpfApp.CreateBuilder()
                .AddHosting()
                .AddMainWindow<MainWindow>();

builder.HostBuilder.ConfigureServices((context, services) =>
            {
                services.AddTransient<MainMenuViewModel>()
                        .AddTransient<MainWindowViewModel>()
                        .AddTransient<TestWindow>()
                        .AddTransient<TestWindowViewModel>();
            });

var app = builder.Build();
app.Start();

Deriving from WpfApplication

You can derive from WpfApplication, which is a subclass of System.Windows.Application, and have the application container auto-configured, which works well for most implementations.

In App.xaml:

<wpf:WpfApplication x:Class="WpfApp3.App"
             xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
             xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
             xmlns:wpf="clr-namespace:Tudormobile.Wpf;assembly=Tudormobile.WpfApp"
             xmlns:local="clr-namespace:WpfApp3"
             AutoConfigure="true"
             StartupUri="MainWindow.xaml">
    <Application.Resources>
         ...
    </Application.Resources>
</wpf:WpfApplication>

The key lines, here, being:

<wpf:WpfApplication ...
  xmlns:wpf="clr-namespace:Tudormobile.Wpf;assembly=Tudormobile.WpfApp"
  AutoConfigure="true"
 ...

In App.xaml.cs code:

   public partial class App : WpfApplication
   {
       protected override void OnMainWindowCreated()
       {
           // ... add code here, for example:
           Help.Register(MainWindow, "https://www.google.com");
       }
  }
