Turn WPF binding errors into exceptions

A lightweight library that converts WPF binding errors into exceptions, so you can quickly spot errors in the XAML markup and detect them unit tests.

All it requires is a single line in your existing code:

public partial class App : Application
{
    protected override void OnStartup(StartupEventArgs args)
    {
        base.OnStartup(args);
        
        // Start listening for WPF binding error.
        // After that line, a BindingException will be thrown each time
        // a binding error occurs.
        BindingExceptionThrower.Attach();
    }
}

Installing:

With .NET CLI

> dotnet add package WpfBindingErrors
