Catel | An application development platform | Model View Controller library

I've some nested UserControls on an MVVM/WPF project using .NET 6.0 and Catel 5.12.22 Google led me to this, all be it an old article https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/129920/Catel-Part-3-of-n-The-MVVM-Framework#mapping

I can't find the UserControl anymore in the Catel 5.12

Lots of dead links to old documentation currently, so please advise where I can find this, or how it works now.

I have an issue where every single view model that inherits from Catel.MVVM.ViewModel is never calling InitializeAsync(). What could I be missing that blocks this call?

I'm using Catel.MVVM v5.12.22.

I'm currently working on a WPF project with .NET 5.0 using Catel 5.12.19 and Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore 5.0.11.

For the EF part I use a code first approach.

When setting up everything using this catel documentation I noticed the necessary extensions are moved to Orc.EntityFramework, but this supports EF 6 and up only.

For EF Core I find Orc.EntityFrameworkCore but only as Alpha versions.

I wondered how stable this is, anyone expercienes?

I'm specifically looking to the .IgnoreCatelProperties() extension

I'm using Catel 5.12.19 with an MVVM application

I have the following 2 interfaces:

I have a (WPF) Catel DataWindow with a DataGrid, where the SelectedItem property is bound to a VM property, and has two buttons indented to launch different Catel TaskCommands on the selected data grid item.

Note the CommandParameters are bound in different ways to what seems - but isn't - the same value:

I have some old libraries coded in .net 4.0 using an old version of Catel (3.9). Now I'm trying to upgrade to .net 4.7.2 using the latest Catel. I've added Orc.Controls instead of Catel.Extensions.Controls, but CreateStyleForwardersForDefaultStyles and StyleHelper are missing. Do I need to adjust all of my xaml files manually or there is some other solution?

I created a little software with 4 Tabs inside the DataWindow Control. Each Tab inherits a CustomControl. The problem is, that the window automatically resizes based on the content (In one tab there is list that needs more width and in another tab the list is way smaller).

I tried the "Custom Data Window Style". Didn't work.

Example:

I am having an issue using Catel.Fody in a .NET Core 3.1 WPF application. I add the NuGet package Catel.Fody and the FodyWeavers.xml file is generated, shown below.

The using Catel.Fody; statement gives an error: the namespace Catel cannot be found.

Is Catel.Fody not compatable with .NET Core WPF?

I create an application that uses english language no matter the current system culture. For all catel windows this is no problem by using DataWindowMode.Custom and e.g.

AddCustomButton(new DataWindowButton("Save", "SaveCommand"));

in the constructor.

Now I created a wizard (Orc.Wizard) with some pages, but I can not find a way to change the culture for the used buttons and the popup windows when e.g canceling the wizard. Changing the Current(UI)Culture and DefaultThreadCurrent(UI)Culture has no effect.

Is there an easy way to change the uiculture for Orc.Wizard, or do I have to customize the default implementation of the wizard (copy pasta)?
