*** UPDATE: Turns out the is expected as Caliburn will create its own instance of the PhoneApplicationService for you. Also when using Caliburn.Micro make sure that your App.xaml.cs is empty as Caliburn.Micro has better facilities for handling all these actions. *** Today when I was kicking off...

In Caliburn.Micro we have a series of supporting services for building presentation tiers. Among them is the EventAggregator, a service which supports in-process publish/subscribe.

Ok, now that I have your attention, it is time to get your mind out of the gutter and back on the topic at hand. When you are building out native mobile applications you are undoubtedly going to communicate to some sort of back end server via some sort of Web Service (say WCF for example if building...

As I continue to build out a WP7 application using Caliburn Micro I ran into a odd error. When trying to inject the INavigationService I would get a ‘Missing Method’ exception as shown below: When I first started to look at the error it did not make any sense. Everything appeared to be in...

I am building out a new Windows Phone 7 application and this time I am finally going to use the Caliburn Micro framework (I have been telling Rob I was going to for a long, long time). Of course one of the great features of this framework is that it was built from the beginning to support DI ( Dependency...
