Absolutely correct, good catch. Will get that updated. It is the view type name you want to pass to the Register method because it basically takes care of both the view model type resolution and the creation of the instance in one step that you fully control.

Awesome, thanks a lot, Brian. Looking forward...

Also, just wanted to point out that in this article where you setup manual DI, you are using the ViewModel type name, whereas I think it should be the View type name?

so, should it be

ViewModelLocator.Register(typeof(MainPage).ToString(), () => new MainPageViewModel(NavigationService));

instead of

ViewModelLocator.Register(typeof(MainPageViewModel).ToString(), () => new MainPageViewModel(NavigationService));?

Please clarify.

Hi kkumar,

Thanks much, I'm glad you are enjoying it. I am in fact half way through putting together a Pluralsight course on Kona/Prism. I had to pause for a few weeks because of the pending renaming, but now that the rename is official and the guidance will be called Prism for Windows Runtime, I am getting started re-recording the modules I had already done today.

I also have a heavy consulting load, so that course realistically won't be out until mid-late May. I'll be getting the next article in this series out by mid-next week, and then continuing to put out an additional 3-4 more about every two weeks.

Sorry I can't produce them faster, just have to juggle multiple commitments as an author and consultant.

Brilliant and accessible article series. Fan of your work both here and on Pluralsight.

Would love to see the remaining articles drop here quickly since your writing is way more effective than MSDN's or P&P's. Are you also planning a Pluralsight series on Kona?

Holding off a bit because there may be some renaming of the namespaces that I don't want to have to chase with updates. Hopefully by the end of next week.
