Is it possible to build Wix/Wix# UI with MVVM?

I am currently reading into building a custom UI using Wix#, but since I have more experience with (WPF) MVVM than with WinForms i was wondering if it was possible to use that instead.

Is it possible?

Solution

  • You can actually use WPF UI with Wix#. See example in wix# repo.

    If you want to use WinForms mandatory, you can also try to utilize WinForms bindings to write UI-related stuff in a WPF-style. See here about WinForms bindings. But in my opinion, WinForms bindings is not so good and I personally prefer not to use them in simple UI.
