make-wpf-usercontrol

WPF UserControl Generator

If $0 is empty, use the AskUserQuestion tool to ask: "Enter the UserControl name (e.g., SearchBox, UserProfile)". Do NOT proceed until a valid name is provided. Use the response as the ControlName for all subsequent steps.

Generate a $0Control UserControl with XAML and code-behind. If --with-viewmodel is appended, also generate a corresponding ViewModel.

• Replace {Namespace} with the project's root namespace detected from csproj or existing code.
• Replace {Project} with the target project path.

Usage

# Basic UserControl
/wpf-dev-pack:make-wpf-usercontrol SearchBox

# With ViewModel
/wpf-dev-pack:make-wpf-usercontrol UserProfile --with-viewmodel
