Top WPF Open Source Projects

Question

I have been programming WPF for over a year. When I started, there were not many examples and guidelines that should now be followed, now the situation is much better.

I would like to ask you for help in listing the best examples or WPF (open) source code projects that you suggest exploring to learn more about project structure, best practices, etc.

Thanks Marco

Answer 1

If it’s enough for you that the source is accessible (but not really open with respect to the license), I still find FamilyShow ( http://www.vertigo.com/FamilyShow.aspx ) and Prism ( http: // www. codeplex.com/CompositeWPF ) for a different scale approach.

Answer 2

Crack.NET and Prism come to mind.

Answer 3

You might be interested in the WPF Application Framework (WAF) sample applications. They are showing:

• View Song

• User Interface Workflow (Wizards)

• Snap / Keyboard Commands

• Figure MVVM, Device Testing

• Check

• Entity Framework

• Open / Save FileDialog

• Print / Preview Dialog Box

• Localization

Answer 4

Although I myself did not consider this myself, I heard really good things about Caliburn. It is an open source environment to help you build applications in SL and WPF using best practices and templates such as MVC and MVVM.

Answer 5

Still not very "open", but very interesting
