All WPF-UI templates stopped working

[joseborges]

Describe the bug

Upgraded WPFUI extension/nuget package to 3.0.3 (i get the same problem with 3.0.2 also, so it might be something on my pc) on Visual Studio 2022 17.9.5 (Visual Studio Installer 3.9.2164.57262) and all 3 WPF-UI sample templates, stopped working.

Every time i try to run/debug them, it exists with this message:

The program '[8676] (SOLUTIONNAME).exe' has exited with code 2148734214 (0x80131506).

To Reproduce

Upgrade WPFUI extension/nuget package to latest version 3.0.3

Expected behavior

A working WPFUI Sample project.

You're not alone, I fix one issue and 10 more issues arise. At this point, I'll start over from scratch. I wish I had time to contribute to this project...

Not sure your up for it, but i totally moved to using https://github.com/CommunityToolkit/Windows instead of WPF-UI.

It has everything i need, but you will need to migrate from WPF to one of these two:

CommunityToolkit.Uwp.* for UWP + WinUI 2 or Uno.UI CommunityToolkit.WinUI.* for Windows App SDK + WinUI 3 or Uno.WinUI

Thanks for the idea. I definitely am moving to this one. Despite giving another chance to wpf-ui, even the demo and documentation contradict themselves, thus leading to more frustration.

Which one of those two are you migration ? why? Which one is straight forward like WPF-UI, just build and share the .exe, no package installation required. Do they have some sample or template project for starting ? thanks
