What it is AI-extracted, prompt v1, taxonomy v1, 2026-08-30, confidence not recorded

A .NET class library providing native Windows dialogs for WPF applications, including task dialogs, progress dialogs, credential dialogs, and common file dialogs. It wraps Windows Vista+ common dialog APIs with a managed, designer-friendly API.

Use cases

show a modern task dialog with command links in a WPF app
display a progress dialog for long-running operations
prompt users for credentials in a .NET desktop application
open native file and folder picker dialogs in WPF
replace plain MessageBox with richer Vista-style dialogs

When to choose

building a WPF desktop app on Windows that needs native-looking dialogs
you need task dialogs, progress, or credential dialogs beyond what WPF offers out of the box
you want a maintained NuGet package with Visual Studio designer support

When to avoid

building cross-platform .NET UI (e.g., Avalonia, MAUI) where Windows-only dialogs won't work
your app is Windows Forms instead of WPF (use Ookii.Dialogs.WinForms)
you only need simple message boxes already provided by WPF
