AutoSettingUI.Extension.Shared

Shared utilities and helpers for AutoSettingUI framework extensions. This package contains common code used by all UI framework implementations (Avalonia, Ursa, WPF).

Installation

<PackageReference Include="AutoSettingUI.Extension.Shared" Version="1.0.0" />

Note: This package is typically installed automatically as a dependency of the framework-specific packages.

Features

ValidationHelper

Provides unified validation logic for property values:

using AutoSettingUI.Extension.Shared;

// Validate a property value
bool isValid = ValidationHelper.ValidateValue(propertyInfo, value, target, out string? errorMessage);

Supported validations:

• Required field validation
• String length validation (MinLength/MaxLength)
• Pattern matching (Regex)
• Numeric range validation (MinValue/MaxValue)
• Custom validation method invocation

ExtendedControlHelper

Simplifies creating controls from ControlBindingAttribute:

using AutoSettingUI.Extension.Shared;

// Create a control from attribute
var control = ExtendedControlHelper.CreateControl(attribute, propertyType);

Features:

• Factory method invocation (static and instance methods)
• Control instantiation via reflection
• Binding property resolution

ControlFactoryBase

Base class for control factories providing common functionality:

public class MyControlFactory : ControlFactoryBase
{
    // Inherits:
    // - Property value access via IPropertyValueAccessor
    // - Dynamic read-only state evaluation
    // - CanExecute delegate evaluation
    // - Type resolution from name strings
}

Usage

This package is primarily used internally by the framework extensions. If you're creating a custom extension, you can reference it directly:

using AutoSettingUI.Extension.Shared;

public class MyCustomPanel
{
    protected bool ValidateProperty(PropertyInfo prop, object? value, object target)
    {
        return ValidationHelper.ValidateValue(prop, value, target, out _);
    }

    protected object? CreateExtendedControl(ControlBindingAttribute attr, Type propertyType)
    {
        return ExtendedControlHelper.CreateControl(attr, propertyType);
    }
}
