@Codedays Good question, unfortunately no

[@vpn3x]

This is actually good. Will you make open source code of it?

[@_buffer]

@@vpn3x Thank you! Unfortunately it's only available to Patreons, but you can always follow along the tutorial which is free :-)

[@TheUltraBlender]

This Tutorial is a pure gold mine, so much valuable information packed into short but effective explanations. Also i love how hyped up for the final product you sound, and rightfully so. I'd love to see more videos diving deeper into how INotifyPropertyChanged works and MVVM in general. Really looking forward to your future videos, thanks!

[@_buffer]

Thank you so much! That's exactly what I'm going for I try to inspire more people as much as I can! And That's actually my next video idea! :-)

[@TheFinalBalance]

@@_buffer I have been looking for decent refresher material for a few weeks now (I was crap to start with anyway but being rusty hasn't helped). Each time I find something the material ends up being so specific you can't really generalise it or build off of it if without it blowing up into dozens of errors. This content is so straight forward and so beautifully done in terms of naming conventions, supporting code and intended outcomes that I actually managed to not only understand it and follow it but build off of it while watching and finally achieved a decent gui shell for my program that doesn't make me want to jump off a cliff. Thank you greatly.

[@_buffer]

@@TheFinalBalance I'm so glad that you like it! Thank you so much for the nice comment, I really do appreciate it! :-)

[@Som3thingRandom9380]

As a junior fullstack developer who's dabbled in website and mobile app development, and now venturing into IoT and WPF, this is by far the most simple, concise, yet in-depth, and easy to follow along explanation of WPF. Loved this tutorial. Keep it up! Liked and subbed!

[@_buffer]

Hweck yeah! I'm glad you found it useful! :-)

[@P90Ez]

I have never done anything with WPF before but this man looks like a wizzard omg

[@_buffer]

Haha thank you :-)

[@zerotoinfinite2006]

I remember somewhere in 2011-12 there was a huge boom of WPF & WCF. Every interviewer were asking question of that. Once, I asked back.. "Do you have any WPF or WCF project running in your company?" He replied - "Actually, no" Then I asked for which project you are hiring me for. He said - " It is for .NET 2.0 web form application" There was a awkward silence and then the interview ended more quickly. I wasn't selected in that interview despite my answers being right. Now, I take interviews.. and I make sure that I don't ask dumb questions which are either too tough (which even I had to Google) or ask something which is not even related to the job description.

[@flux3082]

This is the best tutorial on C# I've seen without being a tutorial on specifically C#, your explanations are incredibly invaluable! Thank you for helping me learn C# in under 45 minutes 😃

This is a brilliant tute. I used it to start my app, but I am now redesigning it from the ground up and I am right back here again! Thanks

[@codingcaderikor]

This is amazing and way more responsive than my forms project I can see I wasted way too much time developing a platform when we could use WPF. We totally gonna transform to this platform!

[@markkirkham1838]

At first I thought this is going too fast, but actually it‘s really quite good; so much easier to pause the video and absorb than to fast forward and miss something. Well done. Very cool.

[@Talking2Wall]

This guy knows what he's doing, Great job! Also I must say that as solo learner, I coundn't wrap my mind around this MVVM concept, but you made a really good job in explaining it!

[@Jeremygrmn]

This is fantastic. One of the best MVVM walkthroughs out there

[@_buffer]

Thank you so much Jeremy! :-)

[@asadasad8524]

I have no words for your videos. I have only one thing to say "I love You, your videos your talking style" please keep it up and don't forget to complete this tutorial.

[@SixthDemon]

You should mention, that when you are setting the windows style to none, it leads to minmax calculation issues. That means that not only there might be issues with maximize state and resizing, it also might lead to performance drops. This is critical to mention, since it can be critical for many who will develop ui based on your guidance. I made a video how to fix them over adding a hook, but it's in Russian (however you can check the code).

[@pemifo260]

Thanks for the heads up!

[@codec2821]

is it still affecting an app if i have a fixed width and height?

[@SixthDemon]

@codec no, as long the window is now we as maximized. Since static assimilate is forcing height and width in a pixies area and not utilizing internal coordination systems

[@בןמשה-ט3ע]

Bro how dp you manage to bind the stylized textbox with the viewmodel property? Because he set a nested textbox inside the controltemplate it causes problems with binding, did you managed to fix this?

[@SixthDemon]

@user-dc5qn7hl8z you should elaborate a bit more on this issue you are having. It's a long time ago, I replied, but I can't recall having any issues with binding

[@SugonMkouk]

Awesome, absolutely love the tutorial! I am still looking back at it in 2023 and using it as a cheat sheet.

[@_buffer]

That makes me super happy to hear!

[@Rick-tg4oy]

This video deserves so much more attention. Amazing editing, clear dialog, and you set this up in such an easy and simplistic way. Thanks for this.

[@_buffer]

I really do appreciate that! Thank you so much Rick! :-)

[@kopilkaiser8991]

I learned a lot about WPF project structure and logic in the proper way with using MVVM structure and as well binding. I even learnt from you how to develop Mordern UI with intuitive design development. At the end, where you have shown to use custom font and icon was also another plus. You are a great teacher being able to point out and explain all the key concepts. Please provide us with such valuable content in learming to program in Wpf. All the credits and appreciation goes to you 🎉😊

それをモダンデザインと呼ぶのはとても不思議です。 ウィンドウのサイズを変更できない場合は、そのようなアプリケーションは使用しません。 MVVMルールに違反しています。 そのようなビデオを作って人々にこれを教える前に、あなたはこれらすべてを自分で掘り下げるべきです、そしてその後になって初めてあなたは人々に何か良いことを教えると言うことができます。

It's some quality stuff here. The main cons of this tutorial - the UI is not fluid or flexible. Sadly WPF never had any good documentation and it's very hard to "jump into this theme" and use it correctly without experimenting with it hundreds of hours. The learning curve is as hard as Angular one, even harder.
