Publisher's Synopsis
Create rich, flexible, and maintainable line-of-business applications with the MVVM design pattern
Simplify and improve business application development by applying the MVVM pattern to Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) and Microsoft(R) Silverlight(R) 4. With this hands-on guide, you'll use MVVM with data binding, commands, and behaviors to create user interfaces loosely coupled to business logic. MVVM is ideal for .NET developers working with WPF and Silverlight-whether or not you have experience building enterprise applications.
Discover how to:
- Dive deep into MVVM-and learn how it differs from other UI design patterns
- Build a simple Customer Relationship Management application you can adapt for your own projects
- Implement MVVM to maintain separation between UI declarative syntax and presentation logic code
- Create a Domain Model to define your application's business context
- Write dynamic code for the data access layer with the Microsoft Entity Framework and NHibernate
- Enforce complex data-validation scenarios using Windows Workflow Foundation 4
- Implement MVVM using frameworks and toolkits such as Microsoft Prism
