# View

### Purpose
This module provides WPF view components for the DTS Viewer application. It contains code-behind files for various XAML views that implement interfaces from `DTS.Common.Interface`, following a view-first architecture where each view is a partial class paired with XAML markup. The views serve as passive containers with no logic beyond initialization.

### Public Interface

**TabView** : `ITabView`
- `TabView()` - Default constructor that calls `InitializeComponent()` to load the associated XAML.

**MenuView** : `IMenuView`
- `MenuView()` - Default constructor that calls `InitializeComponent()` to load the associated XAML.

**MainView** : `IMainView`
- `MainView()` - Default constructor that calls `InitializeComponent()` to load the associated XAML.

**ShellView** : `IViewerShellView`
- `ShellView()` - Default constructor that calls `InitializeComponent()` to load the associated XAML.

**ViewerShellView** : `IViewerShellView`
- `ViewerShellView()` - Default constructor that calls `InitializeComponent()` to load the associated XAML.

**NavigationView** : `INavigationView`
- `NavigationView()` - Default constructor that calls `InitializeComponent()` to load the associated XAML.

### Invariants
- Each view must have a corresponding XAML file (e.g., `TabView.xaml`) that defines the UI layout.
- All views implement their respective interfaces from `DTS.Common.Interface`.
- `ShellView` and `ViewerShellView` both implement `IViewerShellView` - unclear if they are intended to be interchangeable or serve different contexts.

### Dependencies
- **Depends on**: `DTS.Common.Interface` (for `ITabView`, `IMenuView`, `IMainView`, `IViewerShellView`, `INavigationView` interfaces)
- **Depended on by**: Not determinable from source alone; likely consumed by a bootstrapper or DI container configuration.

### Gotchas
- **Duplicate shell view implementations**: Both `ShellView` and `ViewerShellView` implement `IViewerShellView`. The source does not clarify which is canonical or under what circumstances each is used. They exist in different namespaces (`DTS.Viewer.View` vs `DTS.Viewer`).
- No view logic beyond initialization is present; any behavior must be implemented in associated ViewModels or elsewhere.
