Hi, I would like to thank you for writing this series of articles. Your writing has really helped me understand WPF and MVVM in a very quick and concise manner. The sample solutions combined with easy to digest blog posts is just fantastic.

Thanks again,
Chris

Jamshid: The code for this program is on the MSDN Code Gallery (link above in post). You are welcome to copy the ActionCommand from this project and use it in your own.

This is done via an attached property. For details on attached properties, I’d recommend reading the MSDN article here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms749011.aspx

Can you explain how the following portion of code communicate ViewModel?
Can you put implemantion of ViewMode where the following cod segment is pointing?

WebBrowserUtility.BindableSource=”{Binding Uri}”

B. Clay,

It is redundant in that it is not necessary. I tend to write my code to follow StyleCop guidelines (http://stylecop.codeplex.com/), which require this.

While it’s not technically necessary, it does provide a readability/maintainability advantage if all of your code is this way, as it makes it very, very clear when looking at a code where the variable is scoped. It also allows you to freely reuse variable names as parameters without as much worry, as private variables will not clash if they’re explicitly scoped with “this.”, which adds some freedom to naming.

Why do you prepend “this.” to some of the controls? Isn’t that redundant?

BTW, thanks for this series; I can’t say that I can dive right in and create a MVVM WPF app, but it’s helped me along that path.

This is the best ‘transitional’ discussion I’ve read. Excellent. The recasting of our solutions to the MVVM model does not seem nearly s daunting.

Thank you!

Great series.. thanks for taking the time to write it. This will definitely help me as I transition from WinForms to Silverlight (and hopefully some WPF).

Thanks for posting this series of articles, Reed. I understand WPF and the MVVM pattern much better now. It helps to see how things have changed and evolved since the WinForms days!
