C#/WPF - Learn MVVM with the .NET Community Toolkit

[ZephniStrife]

This one video literally answered all the questions I had and problems of boilerplate issues that WPF comes with <3 thanks!

I have sat through a course on Pluralsight going over MVVM and I got pretty lost when it came to the 'wiring it up' side of things. Your video has HANDS down helped understand this. Thank you for doing this. I have subbed to your channel and look forward to more content. Again, thank you for passing down knowledge to help others.

Used to Prism but was looking for a intro to the Community Toolkit, great video mate, picked up a few good pointers here and there too

Thank you so much Kevin for being awesome!! Love you streams and content! ♥

Thanks very much, exactly what I needed

I am glad I discovered this channel 👍, it deserves far more recognition.

Thank you for taking the time to make this video. Much appreciated. You are a good teacher.

My mind is definitely blown rn. It amazes me how concise the code is :D

Can't thank you enough, is simply outstanding! 100 lines of navigation code replaced by just 2 can't believe it yet! Thank you!!!!😀

Appreciate the video. Especially the bit at 1:15:00. My exact situation. Also appreciated the primer on stuff. My first venture into WPF and a lot of videos bypass the "magic" side of these frameworks/kits which leave me scratching my head on how the hell things are just "happening".

This is awesome!! Really enjoyed seeing you go through all the MVVM Toolkit features, I'm really happy you like it! Also love how you showcased all the various [RelayCommand] features - a lot of work went into making that as easy to use as possible and super flexible, so it's great to see that being useful for folks! Cheers! 🍻

Thanks for this video Kevin! This library is just awesome!🔥Also great explanation about MVVM in general, including code-behind. You can see a bunch of contents saying code-behind is evil which it's not if it's UI related (and if it works for you😜). Cool mug btw👏

Stylet MVVM has been my love for the past 2+ years, but I’m switching to this PRONTO due to all the SAVINGS in the code I have to write within my ViewModels - PROPS to all involved w/this v8.0 release of this MVVM framework - I’m loving the potential that you’re demonstrating!

…And thanks, so much for showing how to start working with this framework, especially showing how to FIX that ‘duplictes’ bug - I had ran into that same issue right before I found this video!

Even though WPF is my HEART, and I love it to death, I planning on learning MAUI, next so I can finally create some mobile apps, and I’m so glad this MVVM framework will carry over to that as well - great times ahead as a C# developer - I’m loving all of this!

This "already contains" bug in MVVM Toolkit is the reason I abandoned this. Thank you for solve it out! I really thought the team will fix it up before official launch. If I proper understood this bug is only with WPF projects, seems that it is not important for them.

[williambell]

Thank you for going through this toolkit and highlighting the various functionality!

I've been using Stylet for my last few projects (I love the ViewModel First approach), but I want to start reaping the benefits from these new code generators and reduce all the required boilerplate code I have to type in!

I almost decided to go with MVVMGen, but after watching this, I'm going to transition to using this framework.

I just need to figure out on how to rework navigating between my views w\the loss of Stylet's marvelous View Conductor functionally (I would love it if he adopted code generator functionality into Stylet! - I would keep using it forever!!)

Thanks again for this very informative video!

Hi Kevin
Thanks a lot for introducing me to the Community Toolkit in WPF. I loved both the content and your occasional funny comments.
A few years ago I played with the Prism library in WPF for a few months I find it pretty handy when it comes to abstracting out the features of a WPF app. I find the Community Toolkit very similar in a few ways. But a few parts of the application architecture in the Community Toolkit were missing in your video for me. I am specifically interested in how you integrate and set up a DI container for the toolkit-driven app and how you handle "navigation" from one view to another. Would you have a tip for me to look at to see this implemented with the Toolkit? Thank you.
I plan to start writing a desktop app and I am in the process of deciding on the framework I will use.

Thanks for this excellent video, Kevin. Great content and enjoyable entertainment 😁 Two suggestions for future projects, however: maybe you want to drop the annoying background music and please avoid switching between windows with very dark (VS) and extremely light (browser) background (if only for elderly folks' sake 🙄). Thanks so much for all of the coding inspiration 🤝

The way this library uses source generators seems really nice for MVVM! One issue for me though is that VS no longer shows the references to your properties as you only have the fields in your code. Do you know if there is a good workaround for that? Might not be such a big deal though as the benefits of this library would outweigh that inconvenience.

Great stuff - thanks for the video. I get the VM - V part (at least the basics). However I am not sure how to do the M - VM part. How should the model notify the VM when a property change in the M? Do the M need to implement INPC or is there a "better" solution?

[jirimancl]

Hello Kevin. Thanks for this amazing video. I'm new to WPF and it helped me a LOT to transform from WinForms. If may I ask... Do you think that you can sacrifice one stream to explanation expected architecture of WPF app with usage of MVVM toolkit. I mean like catchnig events for different controls, folders and so on? However.... Thank so much for what you are doing 👍

Hi, Thanks for great video you shared. How can we do constructor injection in view-model?
