Bootstrap from a Class Library

[robigit]

Hello, Is it possible to launch the bootstrapper and the ShellView from a class library ?

You can put the bootstrapper, views, viewmodels, etc, in a class library. The actual WPF Application instance will need to come from somewhere, and the easiest way is to have an App.xaml in your main application (which references the bootstrapper defined in the class library): that's how I normally do it.

It's probably possible to even set up the Application/Dispatcher/etc in the class library, but you might have to do it manually.

Thank you for the answer. I was trying to connect my wpf class library to a not managed application. I tried with the following code and now it seems work correctly (except for a little problem that made me lost a a lot of time and that I initially ascribed to this call). Do you see any problem to do this way?

 var bootstrapper = new Bootstrapper();
 bootstrapper.Start(null);

[For completeness the problem was that before launching wpf I had to reset the floating point with the following function

        [DllImport("ucrtbase.dll", CallingConvention = CallingConvention.Cdecl)]
        public static extern int _fpreset();

]

I'm trying to inject the class library into IOC。

@robigit Apologies I missed message. Starting the bootstrapper without first setting it up with an application isn't supported, and things like showing IWindowManager won't be able to function.

I'm closing this as old - please re-open if you still have questions.

@yiyecao If you've got a question, please open a new issue and give enough detail for someone to be able to answer it.
