Tomorrow I kiss the wife and baby goodbye (sadly) and hop on a plane heading to Mix in Las Vegas . This year I have the unique honor and privilege to present “Build Your Own MVVM Framework.” I’ll be speaking Monday afternoon at 3:30 PM in Lagoon F. Here’s the official description...

Silverlight 4 is now supporting the commanding that we’ve come to love from WPF. Commanding was a foundational feature for MVVM. It’s what enabled us to bind to methods on our view models. John Papa has an excellent introductory post on using commands in Silverlight 4 . This pattern is called the DelegatingCommand...

Since our v1 release of Caliburn in October, we’ve had a healthy amount of bug fixes and feature improvements. The community has really gotten involved and contributed in a big way. The result of this contribution is the forthcoming v1.1. As of this post, the release candidate is available for...

In case you are not familiar with MIX , it is a conference from Microsoft focusing on the collaboration of design and development. Admittedly, the sessions tend to favor the developer, but there is always excellent design and UX content. There was an open call for presentations this year and the community...

Working on the ÜberProf has presented some interesting scenarios. As you might have picked up from Ayende’s blog, the vast majority of the source is shared between all the products. This is especially true in the UI layer. Now, Ayende wanted to have a distinct color scheme for each application. That...

In the last par t I showed a very basic view model. I needed something in order to give those new to the concept of MVVM a concrete example. However, there are several aspects of that example that left me feeling uncomfortable; not to mention the myriad questions that seemed to arise in my mind about...

I’ve blogged previously about the MVVM pattern, but so far I have managed to escape without showing any code ;) Before diving in deeper, I would like to stop and show what it takes to do a very simple implementation of this pattern on top of naked WPF (that’s plain WPF without any cool frameworks...

I’ve heard some developers asking about UI testing lately. Specifically, there have been some questions about what we did with NHProf. So, I thought I would write a little bit about that here. There are a variety of different types of tests you can do. In my experience some have a better ROI than...

Many individuals contributed by finding bugs, submitting patches, recommending...

Justin Angel (who is undoubtedly a Silverlight Rock Star) decided to stir things up a bit on Twitter the other night. I was compelled to echo Ward Bell’s response that value converters can play legitimate role in the UI. Justin asked me to defend my position; a reasonable request. Now, I know...

Today I’ve made the RC3 of Caliburn v1 available. I’m going to let it sit for a couple of weeks, then I will RTW. Please take time to update your code to this new version and post any bugs to the codeplex site . Any bugs not found in the next couple of weeks will have to be fixed in v2. Below...

Everywhere I look I find WPF/Silverlight developers who believe a very popular myth: You cannot update a ViewModel or an ObservableCollection from a non-UI thread. Like most myths, there is an element of truth here. But not understanding that truth can lead you to some very elaborate solutions. Here’s...

There are several major architectural approaches used in building user interfaces. MVC, MVP and MVVM seam to be the most popular of the bunch. From among them, MVVM has risen to the top of the stack for WPF and Silverlight developers. Even ignoring the question “Why use separated presentation at...
