On Tuesday I spent a decent amount of time fleshing out the last remaining features under the Options menu. I then did some general reorganization to the project structure.

On Monday I spent a good four hours working on the port. I decided to flesh out the functionality of the Main Menu. As I mentioned before , none of the menu controls available support commanding. Fortunately, Caliburn has its own mechanism which is much richer than what you get out of the box anyways...

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...

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...

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...

As a follow-up to my last post on MVVM , I want to further investigate the ViewModel as a concept. In commenting on my blog, one reader describes a ViewModel as “a UI oriented abstraction of the model.” In that sense, he is saying that a ViewModel (VM) is simply a contextual “View of...
