Prism for Metro?

Question

I'm new to Metro. Can something like Prism be used for Metro?

Answer 1

You can look another good MVVM framework - Caliburn.Micro. Version 1.3 with a "basic MVVM support for WinRT/Metro" is just released - caliburnmicro.codeplex.com

Answer 2

Many thanks Andrei

Answer 3

Welcome! I also checked that MVVM Light Toolkit (http://mvvmlight.codeplex.com/) v4 now supports Windows 8. This one can be easier to use for the beginners.

Answer 4

Many thanks again

Answer 5

I created a "Prism-like" framework (uses components from Prism such as their event aggregator and commands) after creating a "Unity-like" framework from http://metroioc.codeplex.com/.

It is available at http://SolrContrib.CodePlex.com - there is a video clip that shows it in action for the Metro application (Gwn.DataBinding.Demo application).   I'm currently working on the SolrContribDesktop (desktop) side of the house; it is a multi-targeted application so the same source can be used on both Desktop and Metro.

Answer 6

There is a port of Prism for .Net Metro Style apps on codeplex. You can get it here

Answer 7

You might also be interested in the Okra App Framework (disclaimer: I am the lead developer on this project). Rather than adapting an existing UI composition/MVVM framework for Windows 8, this has been built from the ground up to work great with Metro-style apps.
