  • I love wpf + the material design toolkit.. easy to implement , free, gives a modern look and feel to your app https://github.com/MaterialDesignInXAML/MaterialDesignInXamlToolkit

  • WPF Application Framework (WAF)

    Win Application Framework (WAF) is a lightweight Framework that helps you to create well structured XAML Applications.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • CalcBinding

    Advanced WPF Binding which supports expressions in Path property and other features

  • One pain point is bindings where some transform is involved, e.g. binding the visibility state to a boolean (so so so so common you think it would be baked in). For this use something like the CalcBinding nuget package

  • ModernWpf

    Modern styles and controls for your WPF applications

  • Another is the look and feel of the default libraries. For this I use the excellent ModernWPF library.
