MVVM Light Toolkit samples [closed]

Question

Does anyone know opensource WPF applications created using MVVM Light Toolkit? Or any samples?

Institution

I would like to see some samples as well, specifically for WPF. – Balkin

I ran across this link a few months ago. This example contains quite a few references to telerik controls, but the overall architecture of the application is fairly straightforward blogs.telerik.com/rosswozniak/posts/10-05-06/… – Tracery

I would like to see samples that don't require Expression Blend - craziness. – Podesta

One of the reasons I switched to Caliburn Micro. – Salenasalene

Answer 1

Well I wrote a note taking app using mvvm light, if you wanna check the code:

ApuntaNotas

It's true that MVVM Light is lacking of big examples... We need to create that examples :)

Thanks dude. Your example got me started with the Messaging stuff in MVVMLight - compiled first try, direct and to the point (other examples tried to be too clever, wouldn't compile unless i spent time setting up the right SL environment, etc etc) – Nauru

At the time of writing this there was no Set<T>(...)? – Confect

Answer 2

There are not many public applications using the MVVM Light Toolkit. I know a few applications that use it, but I cannot always talk about it unfortunately. Probably it is just too new.

I am currently very busy writing a Silverlight book, but my plan is, as soon as I will be done writing, to create a reference application on Codeplex and to implement it in WPF and in Silverlight. In the mean time, if anyone else wants to create samples, let me know :)

Can you provide samples on how to use the messenger class? – Vedette

For the Messenger, see my MIX10 video where I show an introduction to this class: live.visitmix.com/MIX10/Sessions/EX14 Also, check a much more meaty sample here: blog.galasoft.ch/archive/2009/10/18/… – Doff

The best example of usage of MVVM Light for me was MVVM Light Toolkit Fundamentals (Pluralsight). I have not found any better example (ApuntaNotas is quite good but it is lack of useful things, i.e. snippets) – Veiled

The course I published at Pluralsight has multiple samples in various frameworks. Check the documentation page at mvvmlight.net/doc – Doff

Answer 3

I have T4 code templates that generate your view/viewmodel for mvvm light and also other tricks. Download here

Also see this example using MVVM Light and MEF

Woodyard

That one is fantastic. Very in-depth example. I learnt a great deal on architecture with this one. – Fumatorium

Answer 5

Laurent, MVVM Light's author wrote an article in the latest MSDN Magazine: Using the MVVM Pattern in Windows 8

Answer 6

Hmm, I don't have any code myself but have a look at Shawn Wildermuth's blog, he has done an example app http://wildermuth.com/ It's Silverlight and also uses RIA services, but hte basics should be on target.

John Papa occassional has sone stuff up as well http://johnpapa.net.

Answer 7

I have written a Coding Dojo for Silverlight - Blend and MVVMLight.

Take a look and see if it fits to your needs.
