WPF Samples

This repository is a collection of reference implementations and code samples for building Windows desktop applications using the Windows Presentation Foundation framework. It provides a sample library focused on desktop window management, declarative user interface layouts, and the Model-View-ViewModel architectural pattern.

The collection includes practical examples of XAML-based declarative interfaces and the synchronization of data between business logic and the user interface via the Model-View-ViewModel pattern. It offers reference implementations for applying accessibility standards and implementing standard desktop styling and layering patterns.

The samples cover a broad range of desktop development capabilities, including user input and event handling for keyboard and mouse interactions. It also demonstrates the use of hardware-accelerated rendering, the dependency property system, and application lifecycle management for native Windows software.

    OpenSeadragon is a JavaScript library and tiled image rendering engine designed for high-resolution image viewing. It functions as a deep zoom image viewer that renders massive images using a tiled pyramid approach, enabling smooth panning and zooming without requiring the full image file to be loaded. The project distinguishes itself through broad support for standardized image retrieval protocols, including the International Image Interoperability Framework (IIIF), IIPImage, Iris, and OpenStreetMap. It provides a hardware-accelerated rendering layer via WebGL to apply real-time filters and

    Prism is a XAML application framework and MVVM architectural framework designed to build loosely coupled and testable applications across WPF, Xamarin Forms, and WinUI. It serves as a structural pattern implementation that separates business logic from the user interface to improve maintainability and testing. The framework provides a XAML event bus for exchanging data and triggering actions between independent components without direct coupling. It also functions as a dependency injection integrator, bridging external inversion-of-control containers to manage service delivery across multiple
