Version 8.7.0 makes API and object graph testing less brittle. You can now assert directly on JsonNode and JsonArray, fine-tune BeEquivalentTo with strict typing and member mapping, and use WithoutMessage to block unwanted exception text. Cleaner intent, fewer diffs, more trustworthy tests.
Master–detail UIs are notorious performance traps in WPF. Expanding details multiplies the visual tree, tanks frame rate, and wrecks smooth scrolling. This guide shows how to keep it snappy with MVVM-driven state, async commands, and aggressive virtualization inside a WPF DataGrid.
WPF DataGrid speed hinges on fetch and render. Use async data virtualization to free the UI thread and row recycling to cut visual churn. In .NET 8 with 1,000,000 rows, we saw smooth fast scroll, ~60 FPS, sub-50 ms input, and bounded memory via windowed paging. Turn on virtualization/recycling, fetch off-UI, keep templates light, and verify with ETW/WPA. Smoothness wins.
WPF developers love control—until DIY controls eat sprints. Edge cases, cultures, accessibility, and “just one shortcut” bugs add up fast. Xceed’s WPF Toolkit Plus replaces the usual rebuilds—PropertyGrid, CollectionControl, BusyIndicator, NumericUpDown, masked inputs, DateTimePicker, accessible themed inputs, Wizard flows, watermark + validation, and async data export for DataGrid.
