SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Migrating WPF applications to Uno Platform is error-prone due to pattern mismatches in navigation, theming, and platform-specific services; this skill provides a structured, patterns-based approach to porting with minimal risk.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Guided migration patterns from WPF to Uno, including NavigationView/frame patterns, ContentDialog conversions, and DI-based settings.
  • Preserves feature parity while reducing cross-platform issues.
  • Use cases: planning a migration, executing incremental port, debugging blank pages from resource keys.

Quick Start

Start by scaffolding a Uno Platform shell and port a representative WPF page to a Uno Page using MVUX and NavigationView.

FAQPage Schema
How do I migrate WPF to Uno Platform without breaking navigation and theming?▼

Migrating WPF to Uno Platform requires a phased, patterns-based approach to map namespaces, convert navigation to NavigationView, align Material theme resources, and configure DI. This structured porting strategy minimizes cross-platform issues and preserves feature parity.

What is the best way to convert WPF ContentDialog patterns to Uno Platform?▼

Converting WPF ContentDialog patterns to Uno Platform involves applying explicit API mapping and utilizing MVUX-based state management. This ensures cross-platform dialog compatibility while maintaining the original application's feature parity.

Why does my migrated Uno Platform page render blank after porting from WPF?▼

Blank pages during WPF to Uno migration often occur when Material theme resource keys lack alignment or namespace mapping is incorrect. Debugging requires verifying explicit namespace/API mapping and ensuring proper MVUX state management integration.

Can I use MVUX state management when porting desktop WPF applications to cross-platform Uno?▼

Yes, porting desktop WPF applications to cross-platform Uno supports MVUX-based state management. The migration workflow integrates MVUX alongside Dependency Injection setup and NavigationView frame routing to preserve application state across platforms.

Do I need to scaffold a new Uno Platform shell before porting WPF pages?▼

Yes, scaffolding a Uno Platform shell is the required starting point for WPF to Uno migration. You then port a representative WPF page to a Uno Page using MVUX and NavigationView to establish the cross-platform routing structure.

Does WPF to Uno migration support Dependency Injection setup for platform-specific services?▼

Yes, WPF to Uno migration explicitly supports DI-based settings for platform-specific services. The phased migration workflow maps WPF service patterns to Uno's Dependency Injection framework, ensuring proper cross-platform service resolution.
