MVVM Code

Question

I am trying to learn MVVM.  Do you know where I may download a good MVVM example?  I want to play around with a solution to utilizes MVVM.

Answer 1

There are some good sessions online from MIX this year that are worth watching here: http://live.visitmix.com/Sessions#/tags/MVVM

Also, if you are going to start using MVVM, I highly recommend looking at the MVVM Light Toolkit.  You can find out more about it and some samples using it here: http://www.galasoft.ch/mvvm/getstarted/

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

There are lots of good examples you can find online, for example...

Dan Wahlin gives a good overview of the pattern here:

John Papa always has nice things to say about MVVM:

Shawn Wildermuth also has said a thing or two about it:

And I did something on that too ;) :

(note, the above app is currently in the process of being updated so a more up-to-date version will be available in the next few weeks)

So no shortage of options, plus the above MIX content is great too.

Answer 3

I've got this project on codeplex. It is used to demonstrate the new features of Silverlight 4 OOB and uses MVVM to do so.

Answer 4

Great!  I will take a look.  Some of these examples seem to have code.  Thank you! 

Answer 5

In case you want some MVVM code also in conjunction with RIA Services then have a look at the Membership example mentioned at http://forums.silverlight.net/forums/t/198763.aspx
