Description

Since .net 5, designData data binding is not working anymore: d:DataContext={d:DesignData /DesignTime/SampleViewData.xaml}

A way must be found to have design data in visual studio in order to better iterate on visual design.

A very interesting article on this topic: https://badecho.com/index.php/2021/07/26/usable-design-time-data/

Research direction
Investigate alternatives to the deprecated design time data binding in .NET 5+. Refer to the provided articles and Microsoft documentation. Explore implementing a custom design time data provider or using a different approach to provide sample data in the Visual Studio designer without the d:DataContext markup extension. Specifically look at the recommendations in the badecho.com article and consider implementing a design time view model or using the SampleData attribute. No existing PRs or assignments found.
