Very nice article. If you map the fields of the Employee class with a template, you get the data shown in the listbox and not just the name of the object.

Hi David, can you provide the complete source code / visual studio solution, for us dummies.

Thanks Klaus

I wonder if you would take a moment and comment on a screenshot of a solution I built based on your article:

http://www.microapplications.com/SilverlightMVVMTest1.png

This builds and runs just fine after I adjusted all of the namespaces.

I’m new to Silverlight, and new to MVVM, so my thinking is that Model ends up being in a class library project and a second Silverlight Class Library project with classes linked to the main class library for the ViewModel stuff to reference, and the HSSystem stuff ends up being in the Web project (or a separate project) as a web service. Am I getting warm ? Where should the NInject related stuff (MVVMTestModule and ServiceLocator) go? Thanks.

Thanks for a great article. Would love to see some more on events in the context of MVVM.

This post is exactly what I’ve been looking for…a simple example to build off of. I can’t wait for your next post on converters and events.

Hi David,

Great post connecting all the dots of the MVVM puzzle nicely! Silverlight and WPF are still young technologies, and best practices is yet to be discovered. So early thinking and exploring like this is the way forward.

Looking forward to catch up at the Silverlight UG meeting in Nov if you’re going

Cheers,
Jonas

@JZ Check out the command pattern in SL Extensions project on CodePlex. Jonas has some examples of using command pattern to communicate between stuff from XAML!

http://jonas.follesoe.no/YouCardRevisitedImplementingTheViewModelPattern.aspx <- stuff on command pattern about half way through.

Nice post. Have been looking for good examples of MVVM that aren’t to complicated or leaves 50% to your imagination. If you wanna throw in some examples of how you use converters, by all means go right ahead . Some examples of how to communicate between usercontrols using MMVM would be nice since I haven’t found anything useful i.e. can we communicate between usercontrols and still keep our codebehid clean?
