  • Standard-Toolkit

    An update to Component factory's krypton toolkit to support .NET Framework 4.6.2 - 4.8.1 to .NET 6 - 8

  • I don't know of any free control packages for WPF, although I'm sure they're out there somewhere. But I do know that WinForms has one called Krypton. It's open source and has a ton of stuff in it.

  • lambda-converters

    Strongly-typed lambda expressions as value converters, data template selectors, and validation rules

  • I haven’t dived too deep into MVU either, but at a glance, it seems more focused on lambdas. IMHO, one of the weak spots in MVVM/XAML is how much boilerplate you have to write for a converter, when oftentimes just a lambda would do. This lib helps, but it still isn’t inline with the rest of the UI.

  • 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.
