Main Presentation:
Deep Dive into WPF using MVVM
– Mike Huguet (Senior Premier Field Engineer for Microsoft)
Model View ViewModel (MVVM) is a software architectural pattern for the presentation layer. .NET’s WPF/XAML feature is very friendly to the MVVM pattern. In this session we’ll cover some of the features in XAML that aid in the implementation of MVVM. We will walk through a few patterns and tools that I use when developing desktop apps. We’ll walkthrough converting an app that implements a code behind approach into an MVVM implementation. Topics covered will include MVVM, binding, commands, UI converters, cross view communications, and XAML control templates. While this is a deep dive, there will be some introductory level discussions at times, depending upon the audience’s experience.
