.NET Final Project- Dynamic plugin with WPF GUI built in VS2017?

[ilikebuttons]

Wow, thanks you guys! This is my first time posting on this forum and I was a little nervous considering a lot of the stuff I’ve read goes way over my head, but this is hands down best feedback I’ve received from asking a question on the internet, ever.

Using WPF directly inside vvvv doesn’t offer any advantage, you would better code everything in Visual Studio. If you want to use WPF to create a UI for vvvv, just make it a standalone app and send OSC message (with SharpOSC)

This is probably the best format for my current requirements, but from what the others have posted I wouldn’t say using WPF directly in VVVV doesn’t offer any advantage.

@lecloneur

The advantage I found using SharpOSC (I think @idwyr is using vvvv osc) is that from your UI app you send your message and inside your vvvv app you receive them without wiring.

This is another reason I’m gonna go with OSC. I’ve got like a max 10 minutes to present and so having the patch as clean as possible will make it way easier to explain and give me more time to showcase the fun stuff in VVVV. Thanks for providing that example BTW, its really helping me make sense of how to communicate between different parts of your app, I’m definitely gonna come back and take a closer look at it once finals are done.

This would allow for example creating a DataTemplate for each entry in the spread to create nice view-models for them. For outputting values though you’d need to map the spread to an ObservableList and make a DependencyProperty out of that.

This is all sounding really similar to some of the concepts we learned in our Cross-platform class. Have you used Angular at all? If so, is a DependencyProperty similar to subscribing to Observable that you create in a service? I think they call is dependency injection in Angular.
