How To: Create a ViewModel or Model from Classes

In this guide, we will look at how to create a new class element in Visual Studio and then create either a ViewModel or a Model for use in an Uno Platform application with MVUX.

For the following steps, let's assume the page that the element to be created belongs to is called SamplePage.xaml

1. Add a new item (for use as Model or ViewModel):

   1. Right-click on the Presentation folder in the Solution Explorer on the right
   2. Select Add
   3. Then click on New Item

   

2. Create a Class element:

   1. Select the Class element in the list and name it according to the following scheme:

   Your application uses:

   • Mvvm: SampleViewModel.cs
   • Mvux: SampleModel.cs

3. Now click Add.

   

• Create a Model Mvux
• Create a ViewModel

To create a Model suitable for Mvux:

1. Insert partial before the current class.
2. Replace class with record
3. With the snippet shortcut ctor you can also automatically insert a (secondary) constructor.
