C# framework that implements MVVM pattern and more.

bovender

This is my inhouse C# framework that implements MVVM pattern and more.

I am an enthusiast/hobby/freelance programmer. I have created this framework because other, professional approaches such as the Prism guidance and framework were too heavy for my purposes. Of course I realize that most people won't be interested in this framework (because they would either use one of the professional large frameworks or create their own home-grown one), but since I produce open-source software, I have to put the source code somewhere...

NuGet package

This framework is available as a NuGet package to facilitate its use in multiple projects.

High-level overview

Here is a high-level overview of the namespaces in this framework. Please see the docs for detailed information.

Bovender.Mvvm

Bovender.ExceptionHandler

The Versioning namespace provides a class SemanticVersion to facilitate handling semantic versions.

Bovender.HtmlFiles

Bovender

A few classes live in the main namespace of Bovender:

• FileHelpers: Helper methods to deal with files (currently only a static method Bovender.FileHelpers.Sha1Hash() that returns the Sha1 checksum of a file as string).
• PathHelpers: Improvements (in my eyes) on some of the static methods provided by System.IO.Path: Bovender.PathHelpers.GetDirectoryPart() extracts the directory part of a path (where the path may end with a file name or a directory name), and Bovender.PathHelpers.GetFileNamePart() extracts the file name (if present) of a path.
