  • System.Reactive v6.0.0-preview.1 available on NuGet

    Personally I learned to use rx and observables by starting to use ReactiveUI combined with DynamicData for my WPF app MVVM architecture. It was maybe not to best choice out there, but I learned to work with it and some things it allows to do is awesome.

    With DynamicData you can use a ObservableCollectionExtended for your list and call .ToObservableChangeSet().WhenAnyPropertyChanged().Subscribe(t => { code to execute });

  • Beginner MVVM + Reactive Question (C# + UniRx)
    2 projects | /r/dotnet | 10 Nov 2021
    If you're trying to use reactive with MVVM, you might have a look at ReactiveUI, an MVVM toolkit designed to work with reactive extensions. Specifically in this case, you could leverage DynamicData (RXUI's preferred method of handling collections), which lets you trigger updates based on change notification from child items, among other things. I'm still relatively new to RXUI myself, but if you have any questions I can certainly try to help a bit more.
  • LINQ - Selecting from a collection where a collection property contains or does not contain a value
    1 project | /r/csharp | 25 Apr 2021
    Right and I never said they did. I said replace the observablecollection with an iobservable if you want it to be observable. You can then use https://github.com/reactivemarbles/DynamicData to get yourself an observablecollection. I'm not arguing that observablecollection + linq would result in an observablecollection. Just pointing out that there is a solution for this.

  • Lee's opinions on Umbraco + naming things
    6 projects | dev.to | 6 Dec 2023
    Why is this a problem? At face value, it isn't a problem. Taking a step back at a more global level, what does "uComponents" mean to the rest of the world? Many of the .NET developers who heavily use NuGet may have not even heard of Umbraco CMS, let alone a 3rd party plugin for it. What if people from the Uno Platform community are browsing NuGet for some kind of components extension library? You can see, this could get confusing outside the scope of the Umbraco community/ecosystem. On top of this, uComponents was developed against Umbraco v4, with its last release in 2016, now it's there to be lingering on the NuGet repository until the end of time, set in stone.

    Not a fan of XAML after trying to get into it, but there is Uno Platform. It wraps native widgets on mobile, just like React Native (which is good for accessibility), and uses C#. https://platform.uno/

    My guess is that it's mainly focused on mobile. On Windows, it has no overhead (behaving like a normal WinUI 3 app), on macOS I think it uses Catalyst by default (which was developed by Apple to make more iOS apps available for Mac desktops) and on Linux it draws its own widgets that the devs try imitating the GTK style with.

    On Android and iOS, it just uses the native widgets which I think is a better experience so you can see my reasons for guessing it's mobile-first. That may or may not be what you want.

    > ...building UIs with the document/element api

    When the whole premise is flawed, JSX or not, does it really matter if there is a better or worse way of misusing a technology not meant for UIs?

    Leave HTML and JavaScript to Wikipedia and other hypertext document libraries.
