Windows Presentation Framework¶

Ensure that you install ReactiveUI.WPF into your application.

Please ensure that you are targeting at least windows10.0.19041.0

i.e <TargetFramework>net10.0-windows10.0.19041.0</TargetFramework> in your csproj file.

Your viewmodels should inherit from ReactiveObject

• ReactiveObject

Use IActivatableViewModel and WhenActivated for lifecycle

• IActivatableViewModel
• When Activated

Keep references to your subscriptions

• Reactive programming#lifecycle

Use disposables to manage lifetime, scope and resources:

• Reactive programming#disposables

Don't use eventhandlers, use the extension methods shipped in ReactiveMarbles.ObservableEvents.SourceGenerator instead

• Events

When starting a WPF application from another application (e.g. Console) set RxSchedulers.MainThreadScheduler to a DispatcherScheduler after creating the WPF application on a separate thread, to avoid threading errors.

Use your normal WPF concepts that you would usually use in WPF development. There's also some extension methods which will make your life easier

• ReactiveUserControl
• IViewFor
• RoutedViewHost
• AutoDataTemplateBindingHook
