Description
Fully open source version of Prism including MVVM, dependency injection, commands, EventAggregator, and others.
Prism 8 supports WPF, Xamarin Forms and UNO, but not Silverlight, Windows 8/8.1/WP8.1 or UWP.
Getting Started
| App.xaml.cs
|
public partial class App
{
protected override void RegisterTypes(IContainerRegistry containerRegistry)
{
// register a singleton service
containerRegistry.RegisterSingleton<IMyService, MyService>();
// registera transient service
containerRegistry.Register<IMyService, MyService>();
}
|
| singleton service |
for a service which is used throughout the application and that retains its state.
|
| transient service |
create a new instance each time.
|
| scoped service |
no implementation because unlike a web application, desktop applications are dealing with a single user and not scoped user requests.
|
| MyViewModel.cs
|
public DelegateCommand DoCommand { get; }
public DelegateCommand DoWithParamCommand<string> { get; }
public MyViewModel()
{
DoCommand = new DelegateCommand(Do, CanDo);
DoWithParamCommand = new DelegateCommand<string>(DoWithParam, CanDoWithParam);
}
private void Do() { }
private bool CanDo() => true;
private void DoWithParam(string parameter) { }
private bool CanDoWithParam(string parameter) => true;
|
| MyView.xaml
|
<Button Command="{Binding DoCommand}"
Content="Do" />
<Button Command="{Binding DoWithParamCommand}"
CommandParameter="{Binding Content, RelativeSource={RelativeSource Self}}}"
Content="Do" />
|
 |
Parameter can't be of value type (int, double, bool, etc). Use instead the equivalent nullable type. |
RaiseCanExecuteChanged
|
private bool isEnabled;
public bool IsEnabled
{
get => isEnabled;
set
{
SetProperty(ref isEnabled, value);
SubmitCommand.RaiseCanExecuteChanged();
}
}
|
ObservesProperty
Whenever the value of the supplied property changes, the DelegateCommand will automatically call RaiseCanExecuteChanged to notify the UI of state changes.
|
|
DoCommand = new DelegateCommand(Do, CanDo).ObservesProperty(() => IsEnabled);
|
ObservesCanExecute
If your CanExecute is the result of a simple Boolean property, you can eliminate the need to declare a CanExecute delegate, and use the ObservesCanExecute method instead. ObservesCanExecute will not only send notifications to the UI when the registered property value changes but it will also use that same property as the actual CanExecute delegate.
|
|
DoCommand = new DelegateCommand(Do).ObservesCanExecute(() => IsEnabled);
|
