A collection of NuGet libraries from Microsoft and the .NET Foundation providing UI-agnostic helpers for .NET developers, including the MVVM Toolkit, Diagnostics Guard APIs, and HighPerformance utilities. It works across all .NET UI frameworks such as MAUI, WPF, UWP, WinUI, and Uno Platform.
Use cases
- implement mvvm in a .net app without a specific ui framework
- add argument validation and guard clauses to c# code
- optimize memory usage with pooled buffers in c#
- share viewmodel logic across wpf maui and uno apps
- reduce boilerplate with roslyn source generators for observable properties
- build cross-platform .net applications with reusable helpers
When to choose
- you are a .NET developer wanting UI-framework-agnostic helpers and MVVM support
- you need well-maintained, Microsoft-backed libraries used in first-party apps like the Microsoft Store
- you want source generators to cut MVVM boilerplate
- you need efficient argument validation or high-performance memory APIs
When to avoid
- you need UI controls specific to a single framework rather than agnostic APIs
- your project is not on .NET/.NET Core/.NET Framework
- you need a full application framework rather than helper libraries
