Use Microsoft.Xaml.Behaviors.Wpf instead the System.Windows.Interactivity

[punker76]

Describe the changes you have made to improve this project

Use Microsoft.Xaml.Behaviors.Wpf as dependency from NuGet instead the System.Windows.Interactivity.dll

This will remove the reference to System.Windows.Interactivity.dll which is sometimes bad for other projects which are also use this dll.

With this change it's necessary to change the namespace too, so this is a breaking change for all others too.

Could you please elaborate how to use the behaviors dll as embedded resources? The Windows Interactivity dll worked quite nicely and I am having difficulty using the same for behaviors. Any pointers to some examples would be fantastic.

@rabiadhikari I think it should be the same. Or you can try using Costura Fody and use their embedded fantastic job.

Thank you @punker76 for your suggestion. Loading dll into the app isn't the issue. My codes worked when using Windows Interactivity dll while when I changed the references to Behaviors.Wpf, the same code doesn't work as expected. Perhaps I am missing something and thus wondering to see an example if someone could point me to one. Googling hasn't helped so far thus the request. I am using Relay command and other setup for MVVM with WPF. Output file is a DLL document to be used as Addin.

@rabiadhikari The namespace is different to the old one, so you should check this.

For XAML

xmlns:i="http://schemas.microsoft.com/xaml/behaviors"

and for code behind

using Microsoft.Xaml.Behaviors;
