Example WPF project using C# .NET Core 6.0

Getting Started

This is just the start of the project. Much of the work can be seen on github.

Create a .NET Core WPF application
Create a folder in the project called "Database"
Add the BibleBeliefs.DB file to the new "Database" folder.
Set the file to be copied to the output folder if newer.

Add the following nuget packages:

Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore
Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Sqlite
Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Tools

PM> Scaffold-DbContext "DataSource=.\DataBase\BibleBeliefs.db;" Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.SQLite -OutputDir "Database" -ContextDir "Database"

Add a Data Context to the xaml

Add a namespace for the ViewModels directory

   1 xmlns:viewmodels="clr-namespace:BibleBeliefs.ViewModels"

Add the Data Context

   1 <Window.DataContext>
   2      <viewmodels:MainViewModel/>
   3 </Window.DataContext>

Adding Data to the application

Now add the Grid

   1     <Grid>
   2         <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
   3             <ColumnDefinition Width="250" />
   4             <ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
   5         </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
   6         <Grid.RowDefinitions>
   7             <RowDefinition />
   8         </Grid.RowDefinitions>
   9         <DataGrid Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="0" 
  10                   ItemsSource="{Binding Topics}" 
  11                   AutoGenerateColumns="False" 
  12                   SelectedItem="{Binding SelectedTopic}">
  13             <DataGrid.Columns>
  14                 <DataGridTextColumn Header="Topic" Binding="{Binding Topic}"  Width="*"/>
  15             </DataGrid.Columns>
  16         </DataGrid>
  17     </Grid>
