A small, yet powerful framework, designed for building applications across all XAML platforms (.NET 4.5+ and .NET Core 3.0+). Its strong support for MV* patterns will enable you to build your solution quickly, without the need to sacrifice code quality or testability.

Works everywhere Xaml does

Supports WPF, UWP, and Xamarin.Forms apps.

and many more …

Get Started

The quickest way to get started is down grab the latest package from Nuget and browse the documentation. If you’re running into trouble checkout our support section.

Features

Bind view model properties to your view based on convention

<ListBox x:Name="Products" />

public BindableCollection<ProductViewModel> Products
{
    get; private set; 
}

public ProductViewModel SelectedProduct
{
    get { return _selectedProduct; }
    set
    {
        _selectedProduct = value;
        NotifyOfPropertyChange(() => SelectedProduct);
    }
}

Even at design time!

Apply methods between your view and view model automatically with parameters and guard methods

<StackPanel>
    <TextBox x:Name="Username" />
    <PasswordBox x:Name="Password" />
    <Button x:Name="Login" Content="Log in" />
</StackPanel>

public bool CanLogin(string username, string password)
{
    return !String.IsNullOrEmpty(username) && !String.IsNullOrEmpty(password);
}

public string Login(string username, string password)
{
    ...
}

Decouple view models with built in composition patterns and event aggregation

public class DocumentTabsViewModel : Conductor<TabViewModel>.Collection.OneActive
{
	...
}

public class CartSummaryViewModel : IHandle<CartChangedMessage>
{
	...
}
