FoBOFD: supports you to create your own file and/or directory dialog with WPF.

FoBOFD means: FolderBrowser-OpenFile-Dialog

• FoBOFD should help you to create the Windows Forms dialogs FolderBrowserDialog and OpenFileDialog in WPF.
• To enable the user to load file system elements it is sufficient to visualize the file system as a tree structure.
• Therefore the core component of FoBOFD is the ExplorerTree Component (ETC).

The personal goals are the main reason why i started this project.
Thus the focus is on the methodology and not on the completion itself.

• Improve my software development skills - not only coding ;)
• Improve and learn more about Test Driven Development (TDD)
• Giving something back to the community.

• The FoBOFD shall provide the user with the ability to select and load filesystem elements.
• The ETC shall be able to display all available file system elements of the operating system.
• The ETC shall provide the programmer with the ability to configure the ETC during runtime.

The architecture of FoBOFD combines a classical layer architecture with the MVVM pattern.
FoBOFD itself does not require a data layer and business layer.
The subcomponent ExplorerTreeView also combines a classical layer architecture with the MVVM pattern.

The ExplorerTree Component (ETC) is implemented in the ExplorerTree.dll.
It is also possible to include only the ExplorerTree-Component in a project,
to create your own dialogs to load files and folders.
For this purpose this component provides an Application-Programming-Interface (API).
The API allows an dynamic configuration of the explorer tree during runtime.
For example the icon and text size can be configured.

MultiselectTreeView is a third party project.
But it has not been developed further for a long time.
Furthermore it is buggy and in my opinion not sufficiently tested.
Therefore I integrated it directly into the codebase and not via Nuget.
This project should be refactored and sufficiently tested.
