In the last par t I showed a very basic view model. I needed something in order to give those new to the concept of MVVM a concrete example. However, there are several aspects of that example that left me feeling uncomfortable; not to mention the myriad...
I’ve blogged previously about the MVVM pattern, but so far I have managed to escape without showing any code ;) Before diving in deeper, I would like to stop and show what it takes to do a very simple implementation of this pattern on top of naked...
I’ve heard some developers asking about UI testing lately. Specifically, there have been some questions about what we did with NHProf. So, I thought I would write a little bit about that here. There are a variety of different types of tests you...

I’ve put a ton of work into this release and I think we are finally almost ready for RTW! You can get the new RC2 bits here . Please download them, try them and help me squash any final bugs that may remain. Below is a list of things that have changed...
There’s been a lot of talk lately about MVVM (Model-View-ViewModel) in the WPF and Silverlight space. Recently, Ward Bell had an interesting post on the subject where he digs into some of the patterns he is using to support his MVVM triads. The...
On Friday I published the Release Candidate for Caliburn. You can get it here . I’m hoping to only do bug fixes and a few minor changes between now and release. There have been quite a few important changes since the Beta: Refactored assemblies...
