Continuing in my series of “Adventures in MVVM”, I want to talk about a few different approaches to working with List Boxes with the MVVM pattern. What I am writing here is generally true of all controls that derive from Selector, including ListBox and ComboBox. This example was developed in Silverlight, but the same concepts also apply to WPF Read More...
Adventures in MVVM I have been spending a lot of time lately thinking about client architecture with Silverlight and to a lesser extent, WPF. I tend to subscribe to the philosophy that when you make your code testable, you get a lot of other great qualities along with it.

I will be traveling the region this summer giving talks on the MVVM pattern and these posts are part of me working through the details of the MVVM pattern. These posts will not include the “What” Read More...

Unfortunately, I have come across a lot of code that has abused singletons in a way that makes other code less testable Read More...
