Frameworks which provide Behavior in .NET Core 3 / WPF

Question

The Behavior class from System.Windows.Interactivity is used in an application I'm working on and this is being ported to .NET Core 3.0 / WPF Desktop.

There doesn't seem to be an equivalent for this class, as System.Windows.Interactivity is built against the .NET Framework.

Are there any alternatives out there?

This answer describes in details what needs to be done: https://stackoverflow.com/a/56240223/532575 .

In short, the Microsoft.Xaml.Behaviors.Wpf NuGet package is a replacement for Microsoft.Expression.Interactions and System.Windows.Interactivity.

You can use the .NET Framework version of the WPF Behaviors in your .NET Core 3 project as is - it is 100% compatible (the build warning is ignorable).

I realised my question was a bit thick as these packages are Open Source...

So I've solved the problem by cloning microsoft/XamlBehaviorsWpf and including the source for Behavior and dependencies in my .NET Core 3 application.
