Webinar summary: With Metro-style apps, Microsoft is pushing MVVM with a built-in solution in some of the templates. But what if you’re now 100% clear on the concepts of MVVM? Fear no longer! In this session, we’ll explore the MVVM pattern along with its benefits (and let’s be honest, disadvantages as well) from the Windows 8 perspective. Next to the core principles, we’ll dive deep in how we can apply the pattern for Windows 8 app by building an end-to-end app based on the pattern. We’ll be using the excellent MVVM Light toolkit for our discussion.

As usual, we gave away free ebooks for the attendees of this webinar who left valuable feedback in our webinar survey. See who grabbed the ebooks!

    This talk, and especially the Demo program gave me exactly what I need right now to get going on a real Windows 8 program. Thanks for sharing!

    Thanks for the demo! Really clears up plenty of things regarding MVVM for Windows 8.

    I just have a question regarding the navigation section (I understand that this is a demo/introduction and not always the best way is followed)

    The code in NavigationService.cs:

                        var mainPageType = SimpleIoc.Default.GetInstance<IMainPage>(); // Creates a instance first time
                        Frame.Navigate(mainPageType.GetType()); // Always creates a new instance

    will create 2 instances of the MainViewModel class. One in the Ioc and another when it is navigated to. Is there  better way to do this? It seems as though we are only using the Ioc to execute the GetType() method to be used in navigation?


    Thanks in advance.
