Getting Started

XamlVisualEditor is built from source as a .NET 10 solution. The main application is src/XamlVisualEditor.App/XamlVisualEditor.App.csproj; tests live under tests/; docs are generated from site/ with Lunet.

Prerequisites

  • .NET SDK 10.0.x.
  • Git with submodule support.
  • macOS, Windows, or Linux for the core build; platform-specific terminal and debugger behavior depends on the host operating system.

Quick commands

git submodule update --init --recursive
dotnet restore XamlVisualEditor.slnx
dotnet build XamlVisualEditor.slnx -c Release --no-restore
dotnet run --project src/XamlVisualEditor.App/XamlVisualEditor.App.csproj

Run focused test projects:

dotnet test tests/XamlVisualEditor.Tests.Unit/XamlVisualEditor.Tests.Unit.csproj -c Release
dotnet test tests/XamlVisualEditor.Tests.Integration/XamlVisualEditor.Tests.Integration.csproj -c Release
dotnet test tests/XamlVisualEditor.Tests.UI/XamlVisualEditor.Tests.UI.csproj -c Release

Build the documentation:

./build-docs.sh
