Frameworks which provide Behavior<T> in .NET Core 3 / WPF

Question

The Behavior class from System.Windows.Interactivity is used in an application I'm working on and this is being ported to .NET Core 3.0 / WPF Desktop.

There doesn't seem to be an equivalent for this class, as System.Windows.Interactivity is built against the .NET Framework.

Are there any alternatives out there?

Answer 1

This answer describes in details what needs to be done: https://stackoverflow.com/a/56240223/532575 .

In short, the Microsoft.Xaml.Behaviors.Wpf NuGet package is a replacement for Microsoft.Expression.Interactions and System.Windows.Interactivity.

Answer 2

I realised my question was a bit thick as these packages are Open Source...

So I've solved the problem by cloning microsoft/XamlBehaviorsWpf and including the source for Behavior and dependencies in my .NET Core 3 application.

Answer 3

You can use the .NET Framework version of the WPF Behaviors in your .NET Core 3 project as is - it is 100% compatible (the build warning is ignorable).
