• Add Application Resource:
  • <ResourceDictionary Source="pack://application:,,,/StreamlineMVVM;component/Templates/MergedResources.xaml"/>
  • Add to XAML where resources are used:xmlns:ext="clr-namespace:MVVMFramework;assembly=MVVMFramework"
• Supports Embedding with this code: https://github.com/pvpxan/DLLEmbedding

Framework

• See https://github.com/pvpxan/MVVMTemplate for example code of how to use this framework.
• Creation of a ViewModel should be done by extending your class with ViewModelBase.
• The RelayCommand Class is used for tieing your business logic to a bound ICommand.

MessageBoxEnhanced

• Customizable replacement for the standard C# MessageBox with more options for buttons and dialog results.
• NOTE:
  • Using this on application launch BEFORE you open another window will result in the Application class shutting down.
  • Set Application.Current.ShutdownMode = ShutdownMode.OnExplicitShutdown; to get around this.
  • Downside is you have to call an explicit shutdown or change the setting back.

Classes

• DialogService - Methods ingests User Control and ViewModel based off DialogViewModel to create dialog windows.
  • WindowMessageResult OpenDialog(DialogUserControlView dialogUserControlView, Window parentWindow, ShutdownMode shutdownMode)
  • WindowMessageResult OpenDialog(DialogWindowView dialogWindowView, Window parentWindow, ShutdownMode shutdownMode)
  • The above methods have multiple overloads.
• DialogData
  • Pretty new addition with tools to help create robust Window Factory classes.
• DialogViewModel
  • ViewModel base class focused around dialogs. Requires DialogData in the base parameter.
• DialogUserControlView and DialogWindowView
  • Used as part of dialog creation. Makes sure some necessary parameters are valid.
