Show welcome view at first application start

[nkristek]

Show a view explaining the features etc. when the application is first launched.

Just add the Loaded Event.

   private void Window_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        MessageBox.Show("Welcom");
    }

Thank you for your comment.
As a welcome dialog I thought more of a dialog explaining what you can do with Stein, maybe add the first installer source (normally done by the + button), etc.
I really tried to get away from showing small dialogs via MessageBox.Show simply because it doesn't support any theming and generally looks a bit off. Also they only support showing text with an optional icon (info, error, alert, etc.) and you can't select text in those dialogs.
An example, on how I would like the welcome dialog to be implemented, would be the dialog for showing exceptions.
I made a custom dialog which allows for the text to be selected, has a copy button which automatically copies the contents in the clipboard, supports theming and allows changes to the layout if needed.

Relevant files/lines of the ExceptionDialog are:

• ExceptionDialog.xaml
• ExceptionView.xaml.cs
• ExceptionView.xaml
• ExceptionView.xaml.cs
• Views.xaml (adding entries for ExceptionDialog and ExceptionView)
• ExceptionDialogModel.cs
• ExceptionViewModel.cs
• CopyExceptionDetailsToClipboardCommand.cs
• ViewModelService.cs (adding case for ExceptionDialogModel)

Now you can show an exception like this.

var exceptionDialogModel = viewModelService.CreateViewModel<ExceptionDialogModel>(null, exception);
var dialogResult = dialogService.ShowDialog(exceptionDialogModel);

This would imply creating/modifying:

• create WelcomeDialog.xaml + WelcomeDialog.xaml.cs
• modify Views.xaml: add entry for WelcomeDialog
• create WelcomeDialogModel.cs
• modify ViewModelService.cs: add case for WelcomeDialogModel in CreateViewModel
• optionally create Commands for extra functionality
• modify App.xaml.cs: show dialog, when the configuration fails to load (here)

I just thought this would be a great issue for anybody which wants to contribute, since it doesn't involve the installer file handling, which is a bit difficult.
