🎯 Why Use This Package?

The Problem

Every time you start a new WPF project, you must:

• ❌ Remember compatible versions for each dependency
• ❌ Waste time setting up MVVM, EF Core, and Material Design
• ❌ Repeat the same process in every project

The Solution

dotnet add package SoftbetaMX.Wpf.MetaPackage

✅ One command. All dependencies. Ready to develop.

🎓 Usage Guide

1️⃣ Initial Setup

After installing the package, configure the Syncfusion license in App.xaml.cs:

using Syncfusion.Licensing; public partial class App : Application { protected override void OnStartup(StartupEventArgs e) { // Register Syncfusion license (required) SyncfusionLicenseProvider.RegisterLicense("YOUR_LICENSE_KEY"); base.OnStartup(e); } }

2️⃣ Apply a Theme

In App.xaml:

<Application x:Class="MyApp.App" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" xmlns:syncfusion="clr-namespace:Syncfusion.SfSkinManager;assembly=Syncfusion.SfSkinManager.WPF"> <Application.Resources> <ResourceDictionary> <ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries> <!-- Material Design --> <ResourceDictionary Source="pack://application:,,,/MaterialDesignThemes.Wpf;component/Themes/MaterialDesignTheme.Dark.xaml" /> <ResourceDictionary Source="pack://application:,,,/MaterialDesignThemes.Wpf;component/Themes/MaterialDesignTheme.Defaults.xaml" /> <ResourceDictionary Source="pack://application:,,,/MaterialDesignColors;component/Themes/Recommended/Primary/MaterialDesignColor.DeepPurple.xaml" /> <ResourceDictionary Source="pack://application:,,,/MaterialDesignColors;component/Themes/Recommended/Accent/MaterialDesignColor.Lime.xaml" /> </ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries> </ResourceDictionary> </Application.Resources> </Application>

Or use Syncfusion themes:

// In MainWindow.xaml.cs public MainWindow() { InitializeComponent(); SfSkinManager.SetTheme(this, new Theme("FluentDark")); }

3️⃣ Using MVVM with CommunityToolkit

using CommunityToolkit.Mvvm.ComponentModel; using CommunityToolkit.Mvvm.Input; public partial class MainViewModel : ObservableObject { [ObservableProperty] private string title = "My WPF App"; [ObservableProperty] private int counter = 0; [RelayCommand] private void Increment() { Counter++; } }

4️⃣ Configure Entity Framework Core

using Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore; public class AppDbContext : DbContext { public DbSet<User> Users { get; set; } protected override void OnConfiguring(DbContextOptionsBuilder optionsBuilder) { optionsBuilder.UseSqlServer("Server=.;Database=MyApp;Trusted_Connection=True;"); } } // Create migration // dotnet ef migrations add Initial // dotnet ef database update
