Jenx Azure DevOps Client

The purpose of this repository.

• Playing around with .NET Core 3.0 (Preview) and WPF.

  • .NET Core 3.0 is the first version of .Net Core which support WPF desktop apps. So, for me it's interesting to check how WPF plays along with .NET Core 3.0.
  • I like also other .NET Core features, e.g. support for machine-global and application-local deployment, performance inprovements, etc...

• For this puprose I created simple WPF Azure DevOps Client to make some proof-of-concepts.

• Playing around with just released Visual Studio 2019.

App key features.

• Integrated Prism Library to create loosely coupled, maintainable, and testable application [https://prismlibrary.github.io/].
• Unity used for DI. [https://github.com/unitycontainer/unity].
• Material Design In XAML Toolkit [materialdesigninxaml.net].
• Mahapps UI toolkit for WPF [https://mahapps.com/].
• NLog for app logger.
• MVVM arhitecture.
• Garcefully handling of exceptions.
• Other features: IsBusy loader, animated popups, material design look-and-feel!
• etc.

Domain

• App can do basic Azure DevOps functions, like:

  • list Azure DevOps projects in organization,
  • list Azure DevOps repositories,
  • list Azure Build definitions and builds,
  • trigger new Build.

• First, you need to put Organization name and personal token into Settings page in order to have access to Azure DevOps backend.

Summary

• Visual Studio 2019 is with no doubt top product. Again Microsoft did some marvelous work. VS2019 is still the best Dev IDE on the market.
• .NET Core is on the right track! I like apporach they are doing. From code perspective I had no big problems with .NET Core 3.0 (preview) and WPF.
