I'm wondering if someone can point me towards a good article/tutorial explaining how to use the MVVM pattern in an WPF Application that uses WCF web services. My WPF client calls a service reference to get data objects that contain data from the database but from everything I've seen and read so far about MVVM I am still not clear on how to use MVVM to work with the data objects I am retrieving from the WCF services.

I can't install visual basic express on computer cause i'm on shared computer and such huge install is not possible on that computer. So i picked up sharpdevelop. After searching most of the tutorial, i found out that most of tutorial written for visual studio IDE for vb and vb.net. I'm trying to learn vb.net in depth from command line to gui programs. Any good recommendation of tutorials, book ? I searched google but very few results so far. I'm looking for good learning tutorials that can help learn with sharpdevelop.any suggestion for tutorial and books that mentions sharpdevelop in their tutorial/guide ?

I was wondering what the best approach is for sharing a menu across all wpf windows/views. My Application doesnt really fit the navigation model, so will probably use a Ribbon control. I am leaning towards creating a user control for the menu and dropping it on each view, but have also seen Josh Smith's msdn article, where he loads user controls.
View 2 RepliesIM Looking at Implementing MVVM in Silverlight.Kind of new to Silverlight and I'm Definately new to MVVM Pattern.I get it all But I want A set of small Prism VB.Net MVVM exmaples if that makes sense.
View 1 RepliesI have been getting up to speed with the MVVM pattern in Silverlight and was wondering how to implement binding from the View to the ViewModel when the ViewModel constructor has a parameter if an interface type.If I bind the viewmodel to the view in XAML then you can not use a parameterised constructor. Given that I was creating a default constructor passing an instance to the parameterised constructor but this breaks the abstraction.
View

xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"

Is it recommended to use the code behind of the view to pass into the parameterised constructor and then bind to the viewmodel?
I have just started using MVVM design pattern with unity and I'm strugling to work out how you add a constructor.my code currently works if I comment out my constructor that requires input the view gets added to the shell.

I'm attempting to improve my MVVM abilities in my next WP7 App (which is written in Vb.NET). I have a textbox that has been given focus and has a WP7 keyboard displayed.

As my company migrates towards the .NET framework from VB6, it looks like we are going in the direction of WPF (my boss is in love with the Office-style Ribbon control). I've been working to mock one of our VB6 applications in WPF and decided to experiment with MVVM at the same time. I'm being discouraged from using an existing MVVM framework, so I guess I need to write my own. The biggest concern right now seems to be a method for registering and managing all my views from a central spot - a manager class - but I'm not exactly sure how to implement this.
View 4 RepliesPossible Duplicate:How can I handle a Validation.Error in my ViewModel instead of my View's code behind?The usual examples of how to use Data-Validation in WPF usually only involves defining an error template for the control and displaying the error message in the control tooltip. What I want to do is to create a collection of all ValidationErrors, display it in an ItemsControl to the user and focus the invalid control when the user clicks on the associated (error) item in the ItemsControl.
View 2 RepliesSEE MY ANSWER AT THE BOTTOM Just doing some light reading on WPF where I need to bind the selectedItems from a DataGrid but I am unable to come up with anything tangible. I just need the selected objects.
[Code]...
I'm hacking away at some code which seems to have been started, at least in theory, as an MVVM project in Expression Blend, by my predecessor at this company.
I've got a thread running in the background, which is running some operations on items as they happen. In order to prevent any clashes, I've also got that thread running any operations my users call for.
Once those operations are completed, I'd like to bring up a MessageBox to give a summary of the user-initiated operations, but now that they're running off in their own thread, the finishedProcessing event handler is now running on the background thread instead of the interface thread and it's causing my MessageBoxes to appear non-modally.
Back in the WinForms days, I'd have handled that using InvokeRequired, Invoke and a Delegate. I've read that this has been replaced by something called "Dispatcher", but the ViewModel class I'm using doesn't seem to have a Dispatcher object.
The "thisViewModel" class I'm using inherits a class called "WorkspaceViewModel", which inherits "ViewModelBase", both of which look generated to me...
where I can link up to this "Dispatcher" from here?

Something that has been confusing me for a while now with WPF MVVM is for example, when I have a base model containing nothing but a few properties and some validation code and I then build a view model around this base model, how should the view model be structured.
For Example:
Base Model ->
Imports ModellingHelper
Imports FTNHelper
[Code]....
What I am wondering is, if there is a better way to structure the view model to improve data binding, so I don't have to bind to Source.Name etc. How should I handle the base model in the view model?
I have been trying to do this for ages and having no joy whatsoever.
I have a ribbon window of the following hierarchy:
MainWindow
MainContent (Tab Control)
TabContainerViewModel
ViewModelBase
View model base has an ObservableCollection of tabs type ViewModelBase. The Tab Control itself is binding fine to these, displaying appropriate view models. I have 2 problems however, I want a "NotepadView" (Of type viewmodelbase) to be replicated numerous times (one view many view models).
At the minute, I have 4 views (NotePadViewModelx where x is 1-4) with corresponding viewmodels, this is because each view had the same text per tab. Now I have individual views per tab.
When I type into tab 1 and switch to tab 2, I lose what I typed in tab one when I click back.
This is more a conceptual question. Here is my current predicament; I am writing a vb.net WPF application and using the MVVM pattern (love it! maintainability is just amazingly awesome). Currently all the code is written by hand and there is no use of NHibernate or Entity Framework as the backend is an access database (due to policy I cannot use NH and EF doesn't support JET Databases, we may switch to MSSQL at some point but that may be a while from now).[code]...
