I think that everyone involved on building complex WPF applications are exactly in my situation: we've spent lots of days architecturing the applications, choosing the right pattern (M-V-VM in this case) and training all the Dev Team on using it, organize the work with other developers involved on the project (we've figures that works mainly on the View, other that works on the Model and others that works on the ViewModel side) and now that the work is in an advanced state what happens?
In one of my "mainly monitored" section of Codeplex (WPF Futures) is released the first version of the WPF Model-View-ViewModel Toolkit.
The Model-View-ViewModel Toolkit is intended to introduce the Model-View-ViewModel design pattern for building WPF applications to the broad WPF developer community.
The toolkit includes:
- A Visual Studio 2008 template (Visual C# Express 2008 also supported)
- Documentation
- General introduction to M-V-VM
- Walkthrough using the VS template
- A complete WPF application demonstrating the M-V-VM pattern
With just two click on VS2008 (new Project and choose WPF Model-View Application) you've the complete infrastructure of a WPF application.
