Projects
 | Code Generator for WPF/MVVM permalink This is a WPF application which serves as a development tool in that it creates code chunks which you can cut and paste into your MVVM applications and it is a learning tool in that it is a basic application (menu, pages, datalayer that reads and writes to XML files) made with the MVVM (zero code-behind) so looking at the code and seeing how it works and extending it can be educational. I use it as a base application with which to create WPF applications. |
