Up until now I’ve been focusing on fairly simple usage of Screens and Conductors. In this article, I want to show something a bit more sophisticated. This sample is based loosely on the ideas demonstrated by Billy Hollis in this well-known DNR TV episode . Rather than take the time to explain what...

Let’s look at another example: this time a simple MDI shell that uses “Screen Collections.” As you can see, once again, I have kept things pretty small and simple: Here’s a screenshot of the application when it’s running: Here we have a simple WPF application with a series...

Previously, we discussed the theory and basic APIs for Screens and Conductors in Caliburn.Micro. Now I would like to walk through the first of several samples. This particular sample demonstrates how to set up a simple navigation-style shell using Conductor<T> and two “Page” view models...

Actions, Coroutines and Conventions tend to draw the most attention to Caliburn.Micro, but the Screens and Conductors piece is probably most important to understand if you want your UI to be engineered well. It’s particularly important if you want to leverage composition. The terms Screen, Screen...

Before our WP7 detour , we were deep in the thick of Actions . I mentioned that there was one more compelling feature of the Actions concept called Coroutines. If you haven’t heard that term before, here’s what wikipedia * has to say: In computer science , coroutines are program components...

Hopefully, previous articles have you up to speed on what Caliburn.Micro is , its basic configuration , and how to take advantage of a few of its features . In this part, I want to talk about some WP7 specifics issues. It’s unfortunate that I have to call out WP7, but your going to find that while...

We briefly introduced actions in Pt. 1 , but there is so much more to know. To begin our investigation, we’ll take our simple “Hello” example and see what it looks like when we explicitly create the actions rather than use conventions. Here’s the Xaml: <UserControl x:Class...

In the last part we discussed the most basic configuration for Caliburn.Micro and demonstrated a couple of simple features related to Actions and Conventions. In this part, I would like to explore the Bootstrapper class a little more. Let’s begin by configuring our application to use an IoC container...

When my “Build Your Own MVVM Framework” talk was chosen for Mix10, I put a temporary hold on this series of blog posts. I wanted to dedicate significant time to working on a sample framework and demo that would make a top notch Mix presentation. After giving the talk, I received a ton of...

After about eight months of work, today I’m happy to announce the release of Caliburn v1.1 . This release supports .NET3.5, .NET4.0, Silverlight 2.0, 3.0 and 4.0. We’ve made tons of bug fixes since the v1 release as well as added a few minor features and some general improvements to APIs...

There’s a whole lot of talk these days about MVVM. It’s the “hep” thing and everyone wants in. There isn’t a single day lately where someone doesn’t post about this topic (and I read their post..I’ve tried really hard to read everything I find). I’ve tweeted...

Day eight* of the port and I was so happy not to discover any new issues. At this point I have almost all the major UI pieces in place. You can now see what you would normally during typical profiler usage. There’s still a lot of work to be done…probably much more than has been done so far...

Today I worked on statements. They flow pretty naturally out of the sessions functionality. I still have a lot of work ahead of me, so fortunately I only found two new issues today. I was able to rework Xaml in both cases fairly easily. Binding in it’s Element form is not allowed. Fortunately,...
