Hi,
Here is a simple demo project using .netcore WPF, EFCore, with/out PRISM:
https://github.com/mouadcherkaoui/netcore3-wpf-example
I'll add more infos in the readme file, for the efcore context I just used the inMemory context fro the demo.
Best regards,
Mouad.
Here is some info to get started.

I found the book WPF unleased by Adam Nathan to be a very good resource
In addition to the documentation, Microsoft has uploaded the WPF samples on GitHub. You can go here to download it for learning and testing.
I will give the step to run and test the samples on your device:
6. Click the WPFSamples.sln in the unzip file , and you can clean and built the solution to run the samples.

WPF samples on GitHub.
Why oh why does MS seem to always want to package thiings up in such a way that makes it virtually impossible to use?
I downloaded the .zip samples and apart from a UI showing some information on Layout and Controls, there doesn't appear anyway to load/run the examples in the download.
Am I supposed to open each file in the example application and copy/paste into a new project - seems the only way to me.
You need make sure your dotnet list sdks list is consistent with list in global.json, I have updated my answer, please check.
