Vanlalhriata/Vulcan.Wpf

A WPF framework based on MEF

Vulcan.Wpf

Vulcan.Wpf is a WPF framework that uses MEF for Dependency Injection.

Usage:

Infrastructure:

• Add the Core and Utils projects to your solution, or make references to their binaries.
• In your WPF application, Replace Application with Vulcan.Wpf.Core.FrameworkApp in App.xaml.
• Derive your main window from Vulcan.Wpf.Core.Shell instead of Window.
• Make sure to include a Frame in your main window. This is where the views will be placed.
• Set the Shell.StartUpView property to the alias of the first view.

Views and ViewModels:

• Views are derived from Vulcan.Wpf.Core.View. They can be exported using the ViewExport attribute.

• ViewModels are derived from Vulcan.Wpf.Core.ViewModelBase. They can be exported using the ViewModelExport attribute.

• DataContexts can be set in XAML as follows:

  DataContext="{Binding MainViewModel, Source={x:Static v:FrameworkApp.ViewModelLocator}}"

Notes:

• The namespace for the framework is http://schemas.makkati.in/wpf/framework
