What is a Hamburger menu?
A hamburger menu, also known as a three-line menu, is a button with three horizontal lines stacked vertically. It's a common element in modern mobile and web UI designs. Nicknamed for the menu icon that hides options, keeping things tidy on screens.

This space-saving menu button collapses a navigation panel containing app options. It's crucial for responsive design, offering easy access to features on smaller screens without cluttering the main UI.
This repository contains a sample WPF desktop application (.NET 6) demonstrating the implementation of a modern Hamburger Menu using MahApps.Metro, a popular UI library for WPF applications. I have used the open-source MahApps.Metro UI framework.

Steps to Create and Upload to GitHub
Step 1: Create a New WPF Project
Open Visual Studio.
Go to File > New > Project.
Choose WPF App (.NET Core/.NET Framework) template.
Name your project (e.g., MahAppsMetroHamburgerMenuSample) and click Create.
Step 2: Install MahApps.Metro
Install MahApps.Metro via NuGet Package Manager:
Right-click on your project in the Solution Explorer.
Select Manage NuGet Packages.
Search for MahApps.Metro and install it.
Note: The Assets folder contain the images.

Here are three benefits of using a Hamburger Menu in a desktop application:

> Screen Space Optimization
> Responsive design
> Enhanced Focus on Content
