Top 23 C# MVVM Projects
-
ReactiveUI
An advanced, composable, functional reactive model-view-viewmodel framework for all .NET platforms that is inspired by functional reactive programming. ReactiveUI allows you to abstract mutable state away from your user interfaces, express the idea around a feature in one readable place and improve the testability of your application.
Project mention: Is it possible to subscribe to changes in a given property of a bound object? | reddit.com/r/Blazor | 2021-12-15Checkout https://www.reactiveui.net/ - it works with INotifyPropertyChanged interface, which raises an event every time the property changes.
-
Uno Platform
Build Mobile, Desktop and WebAssembly apps with C# and XAML. Today. Open source and professionally supported.
A quick search for ".NET cross-platform GUI" suggests Avalonia and Uno. For C++ there are Qt and wxWidgets and more. Some more for other languages, like GTK and the native Java ones. I'll just leave a link to Wikipedia.
-
OPS
OPS - Build and Run Open Source Unikernels. Quickly and easily build and deploy open source unikernels in tens of seconds. Deploy in any language to any cloud.
-
Prism
Prism is a framework for building loosely coupled, maintainable, and testable XAML applications in WPF, Xamarin Forms, and Uno / Win UI Applications.. (by PrismLibrary)
-
UWP Community Toolkit

-
Caliburn.Micro
A small, yet powerful framework, designed for building applications across all XAML platforms. Its strong support for MV* patterns will enable you to build your solution quickly, without the need to sacrifice code quality or testability.
Project mention: 3rd party frameworks to add ease of use to XAML/WPF? | reddit.com/r/csharp | 2021-07-08I haven't done WPF/XAML stuff in years but I really liked Caliburn Micro, largely because of the convention-based auto-binding.

Scout APM
Less time debugging, more time building. Scout APM allows you to find and fix performance issues with no hassle. Now with error monitoring and external services monitoring, Scout is a developer's best friend when it comes to application development.

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.
-
Gemini
Gemini is an IDE framework similar in concept to the Visual Studio Shell. It uses AvalonDock and has an MVVM architecture based on Caliburn Micro. (by tgjones)
-
Stylet
A very lightweight but powerful ViewModel-First MVVM framework for WPF for .NET Framework and .NET Core, inspired by Caliburn.Micro.
