Atc.Wpf

A comprehensive set of modern, enterprise-ready WPF libraries for building professional desktop applications with the MVVM design pattern.

Atc.Wpf is a four-tier WPF control library: Atc.Wpf (core) → Atc.Wpf.Controls (atomic controls) → Atc.Wpf.Forms (labelled form fields) → Atc.Wpf.Components (composite components). Plus dedicated packages for theming, font icons, hardware/system pickers, network scanning, and undo/redo.

Building this site locally

This site is generated with DocFX.

dotnet tool install -g docfx
docfx docfx.json --serve

Then open http://localhost:8080.

If you see IOException: ... _site\toc.html ... being used by another process — that's a previous docfx --serve still holding files. Stop it (close the previous terminal or Ctrl+C), delete the _site/ directory, and re-run.

If you see FailedToLoadAnalyzer: Atc.XamlToolkit.SourceGenerators ... ReferencesNewerCompiler — that's expected. DocFX's bundled Roslyn is older than what the source generators target, so generated members ([ObservableProperty], [DependencyProperty], etc.) are missing from API metadata. The site still builds because docfx.json sets allowCompilationErrors: true. Will resolve when DocFX upgrades its bundled Roslyn.
