WPF¶

ReactiveUI.WPF connects ReactiveUI to Windows Presentation Foundation. Add it by following Installation. ReactiveUI.WPF also ships as ReactiveUI.WPF.Reactive, built from the same source, for an app that uses System.Reactive.

It gives your windows, pages and user controls a ViewModel property WPF can bind to, and a host that shows the current page of a router. It also adds a dispatcher-backed main-thread sequencer and the value converters a WPF binding needs for bool/Visibility conversion.

• WPF walks through building an app with the package, start to finish: a university grade book with routed navigation, two-way binding and a validated text box.
• Windows Presentation Framework guidelines lists the WPF-specific practices worth calling out on their own.

ReactiveUI.Blend and ReactiveUI.Drawing are two smaller packages built for WPF: ReactiveUI.Blend adds Blend behaviors and triggers that read from a stream, and ReactiveUI.Drawing registers a bitmap loader. The handbook's WPF page covers both.
