The goal is to provide missing or replace existing classes to support the development of high-quality Windows and Windows Phone applications. For example, the library provides often used MVVM infrastructure classes, missing UI controls, IoC classes, additional LINQ extension methods and much more. [Available classes and components](https://github.com/MyToolkit/Core/wiki) - [MVVM](https://github.com/MyToolkit/Core/wiki/MVVM-Overview) classes ([RelayCommand](https://github.com/MyToolkit/Core/wiki/RelayCommand), [ViewModelBase](https://github.com/MyToolkit/Core/wiki/ViewModelBase), [ObservableObject](https://github.com/MyToolkit/Core/wiki/ObservableObject), [Messenger](https://github.com/MyToolkit/Core/wiki/Messenger)) in portable class library - Networking classes: [HTTP](https://github.com/MyToolkit/Core/wiki/Http) with GZIP support, WakeOnLan - XAML controls and converters, e.g. [MtPivot](https://github.com/MyToolkit/Core/wiki/MtPivot), [DataGrid](https://github.com/MyToolkit/Core/wiki/DataGrid) for WinRT/UWP and [Hamburger](https://github.com/MyToolkit/Core/wiki/Hamburger) for UWP - Improved [paging](https://github.com/MyToolkit/Core/wiki/Paging-Overview) classes for Universal Windows Apps (UWP), Windows Phone and Windows 8 apps - Additional collections like [ObservableDictionary](https://github.com/MyToolkit/Core/wiki/ObservableDictionary), [MtObservableCollection](https://github.com/MyToolkit/Core/wiki/MtObservableCollection) or [ObservableCollectionView](https://github.com/MyToolkit/Core/wiki/ObservableCollectionView) - And much more... (This project has originally been hosted on [CodePlex](http://mytoolkit.codeplex.com)) If you found some bugs or have other comments, please create a Pull Request or GitHub issue. The library is free to use, but please put a link to this GitHub site in the source code or your application. The project is maintained and developed by [Rico Suter](http://rsuter.com) and other contributors. ## Installation ### Using NuGet (recommended) The MyToolkit project is separated into the following packages: - [MyToolkit](https://nuget.org/packages/MyToolkit) (PCL): MVVM classes, collections, everything which can be portable... - [MyToolkit.Extended](https://nuget.org/packages/MyToolkit.Extended) (UWP/WinRT/WP7/WP8/SL4/SL5/.Net4.5/(.NET4)): UI (e.g. controls) and framework dependent classes (e.g. Wake-On-Lan class). Don't use this assembly in Windows Phone background agents as some classes are not allowed in these projects. The YouTube classes can be found in this package... - [MyToolkit.Http](https://nuget.org/packages/MyToolkit.Http) (PCL): Portable HTTP classes with GZIP and file upload support. - [MyToolkit.Web](https://nuget.org/packages/MyToolkit.Web) (.NET4.5): .NET classes for Web/Server projects. - [MyToolkit.AspNet.Mvc](https://nuget.org/packages/MyToolkit.AspNet.Mvc) (.NET4.5): .NET classes for ASP.NET MVC projects. ### Using template project Not available yet. ### Using ZIP download Download the [assemblies as ZIP file here](https://github.com/MyToolkit/Core/releases). ## Visual Studio solutions The solutions can be found in the `src` directory: **MyToolkit.VS2015.sln** - MyToolkit (PCL: UWP, W8, WP8.1, .NET 4.5, WP8SL) - MyToolkit.AspNet.Mvc (ASP.NET MVC 5.x) - MyToolkit.Extended (Shared Project) - MyToolkit.Extended.Uwp (Universal Windows Platform: Windows 10, Windows 10 Mobile) - MyToolkit.Extended.WinRT (PCL: W8.1, WP8.1) - MyToolkit.Extended.Wp8 (WP8SL) - MyToolkit.Extended.Wpf40 (.NET 4.0) - MyToolkit.Extended.Wpf45 (.NET 4.5) - MyToolkit.Extended.Http (PCL) - MyToolkit.Extended.MachineLearning.WinRT (PCL: W8.1, WP8.1) - MyToolkit.Web (.NET 4.5) **MyToolkit.VS2012.sln** - MyToolkit.Extended.Sl5 (Silverlight 5) - MyToolkit.Extended.Wp7 (WP7SL) - MyToolkit.Http.Legacy (PCL: SL4, WP7SL, .NET 4) - MyToolkit.Legacy (PCL: SL4, WP7SL, .NET 4) **Supported frameworks:** ![](https://rawgit.com/MyToolkit/Core/master/docs/LibraryMatrix.png) Also check out the [list with the Visual Studio projects and their dependencies](https://github.com/MyToolkit/Core/blob/master/docs/Dependencies.md). ## Sample applications There is a sample application for Windows Phone and WinRT which demonstrates various MyToolkit classes (MVVM, Paging, YouTube, etc...) as well as some Windows 8 features. Clone or download the [source code](https://github.com/MyToolkit/Core/tree/master), open the **MyToolkit.VS2015.sln** and start the **SampleUwpApp** (Windows 10) or **SampleWindowsStoreApp** (Windows 8.1) application. ![](https://rawgit.com/MyToolkit/Core/master/docs/SampleWindowsStoreApp.png) ## How to build the library - MyToolkit.Extended.Wp7 - MyToolkit.Extended.Wp8 - You need the Windows Phone 8.0 SDK to build a Windows Phone 7 or 8 Silverlight project: - https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/confirmation.aspx?id=35471 - MyToolkit - Code Contracts Visual Studio extension: - https://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/1ec7db13-3363-46c9-851f-1ce455f66970 ## Projects which use MyToolkit libraries List with some sample projects which use the MyToolkit libraries: - [Project Dependency Browser](http://projectdependencybrowser.org/) - [Visual JSON Editor](http://visualjsoneditor.org/) ## Donate MyToolkit is a free project that is developed in spare time.
