WPF Simplified Series | I.Net. October 11, 2009 3 Comments In this series I’ll take a look at some of the major concepts in WPF. If you’ve been coding using WinForms, WPF can be a little confusing because it brings with it a lot of new constructs, like XAML. It is also a more powerful platform than WinForms, incorporating 2D & 3D drawing, advanced typography, animation, advanced data binding, and many others.

Urls. ApuntaNotas-1.1b1-binaries. My Public Interface | Modal dialogs with MVVM and Silverlight 4. In the previous post we covered how to show Views and how to wire them up with their ViewModels while preserving ability to correctly see their preview in Visual Studio and Blend design mode. In this post i would like to tackle another problem that is very common in MVVM and yet very rarely done correctly. I will try to provide simple and platform agnostic way of showing Modal Dialogs in MVVM manner without any code in View (later in the post we will reuse same concept and provide way to show simple message dialogs in the same way). For those of you that have no patience here is the demo application that shows dialogs in action. On the main page there are two identical views each of them showing a list of users. So lets begin: Actual implementation of the concept will be done in Silverlight 4 but it can be easily and without any pain converted to any other UI platform like WPF etc.
Our main design goals are: As you can see IModalWindow is almost like an 1:1 abstraction of ChildWindow class. WPF | Zag Studio | Personalized Development and Consulting in Client-Side Microsoft Technologies. My last post covered the current UI virtualization support on Silverlight and WPF. In this post, I will discuss another technique that helps improve performance when dealing with large data sets: data virtualization. A control that uses data virtualization knows to keep in memory no more data items than the ones needed for display. For example, if a data-virtualized ListBox is data bound to 1,000,000 data items and only displays 100 at a single point in time, it only keeps about 100 data items in memory. If the… C# - MVVM: Tutorial from start to finish? Routed Events in WPF ~ .Net Examples. Rachel Lim's Blog - A Simple MVVM Example | In my opinion, if you are using WPF or Silverlight you should be using the MVVM design pattern.
It is perfectly suited to the technology and allows you to keep your code clean and easy to maintain. The problem is, there are a lot of online resources for MVVM, each with their own way of implementing the design pattern and it can be overwhelming. I would like to present MVVM in the simplest way possible using just the basics. So lets start at the beginning. MVVM is short for Model-View-ViewModel. Models are simple class objects that hold data. They should only contain properties and property validation. Views are the UI used to display data. ViewModels are where the magic happens.
MVVM Example I’ve put together a small sample showing these 3 layers and how they relate to each other. Sample Model For this example I’ve used a Product Model. Usually I would also implement IDataErrorInfo here for property validation, however I have left this out for now. Sample ViewModel Sample View Notes Like this: Sacha Barber. Preface and Thanks I am a .NET programmer, but a busy one; I do VB.NET and C#, ASP.NET / WinForms / WPF / WCF, Flash, Silverlight, the lot. Basically, I keep my toe in. But when I started writing this article series, I naturally chose my favourite language (which happens to be C#).
I since got an email from an individual who requested that I publish this series with source code in VB.NET and C#. I simply stated I didn't have time. So this individual (Robert Ranck) volunteered to help out and do the translation to VB.NET based on my original C# projects. So for that and the subsequent VB.NET projects that you will find here, I ask you to thank Robert Ranck. Introduction This article is the third in my series of beginner's articles for WPF. In this article, I'm aiming to cover a brief introduction into the following: RoutedEvents What they are Routed events are a new concept to most developers. This is all well and good, right? How they work And here's the VB.NET version: How to consume them. Reed Copsey, Jr. - Better User and Developer Experiences – From Windows Forms to WPF with MVVM.
This series introduces the Model-View-ViewModel Pattern from the point of view of a Windows Forms developer. The goal is not to introduce WPF, but to demonstrate some of the new features within Windows Presentation Foundation, and show how they should force every WPF developer to re-think how they design their applications. The Model-View-ViewModel pattern is introduced after a discussion of three of the main features in WPF which enable it’s usage.
In order to illustrate this, three versions a single application were written: A Windows Forms applicationA WPF Version of the application, using the same styleA WPF Version of the application, built using MVVM This allows a detailed understanding of the reasons behind MVVM, as well as the technology that enables the pattern. Series Outline The source code for this series is posted on MSDN Code Gallery. Note: Since the Code Gallery was removed, I have now attached the source code to this article. MVVMArticle.zip. The World's Simplest C# WPF MVVM Example. Posted by Mark Withall: 2013-03-01 The interesting thing to me about MVVM (Model-View-ViewModel), is that the Model should know about nothing else, the ViewModel should only know about the Model (not the View), and the View should only know about the ViewModel (and not the Model). One thing that I’ve wanted to do for quite some time now, is to create a very simple MVVM example for C# WPF.
As this post will show, I’ve finally gotten around to it. Simple, in this case, has a few caveats (as one might expect). I wouldn’t want to write a completely trivial example that didn’t do anything. With that in mind, let me lay out the ground rules. Model: This can be really simple, the goal here is for the ViewModel not to have to do any of the business logic. ViewModel: This should essentially delegate everything to the Model except for exposing data for the View. View: This should just bind to the ViewModel and make stuff look pretty.
