The Win Application Framework (WAF) is a lightweight Framework that helps you to create well-structured XAML Applications in WPF and UWP. It supports you in applying various architectural patterns:
How to get started?
- WAF comes with realistic real-world sample applications. Please have a look at them. See Sample Applications below.
- The Wiki provides further guidance.
Starting with version 4 the framework comes with the new name Win Application Framework instead of WPF Application Framework. This rename shows that the framework supports now various application types:
- WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation)
- UWP (Universal Windows Platform)
- Core (Basic support for all .NET based applications)
Older versions of WAF 1.0 - 3.2 can be found at CodePlex: http://waf.codeplex.com
