Configuration

MVVM Community Toolkit Integration

If you’re using CommunityToolkit.Mvvm with source-generated [ObservableProperty] partial properties, Reflector works alongside it:

1. Set the language version to preview in your project file:

   <PropertyGroup>
       <LangVersion>preview</LangVersion>
   </PropertyGroup>

2. Apply both attributes to your ViewModel:

   [Reflector]
   public partial class MyViewModel : ObservableObject
   {
       [ObservableProperty]
       public partial string MyProperty { get; set; }
   }
