After ~1 month of earnest all day type WPF programming, I have come to see the wisdom of the much blogged about, microsoft touted/ originated Model-View-ViewModel pattern for WPF apps.

After many years of all day Windows Forms programming, I had my style down. WPF, I have been doing pet projects with it for ~1.5 years. Now, using it for day to day work, I am finding myself doing things differently. I feel the WPF coding evolving towards something and I think I have organically evolved my current work to Model-View-ViewModel.

Here is a linkfest:

• The DataModel-View-ViewModel pattern series This is basically the pivotal series on the topic
• Here is Josh Grossman’s (2005) article on the topic, how it the pattern has been used in Expression (Sparkle) design
• This is an aside article, but I empathise as I believe I began down the same route (binding directly to the raw datamodel, as opposed to the ViewModel)
• A good practical article from Josh Smith on using the pattern with the WPF tree view
• Another article from Josh Smith, a bit of an extension, but I have been looking for a more natural feel for commands, this seems a good match.

I managed not to say anything, but to include a bunch of good ref’s and say that I am feeling increasingly at home with WPF.

As long as I can be productive for my business, write less code that is more maintainable, I will be a happy camper. I am still reaching for a good way to have dependency injection fit in fundamentally into my WPF work. It is there, but I want it deeper!
