In Caliburn.Micro we have a series of supporting services for building presentation tiers. Among them is the EventAggregator, a service which supports in-process publish/subscribe. There are various implementations of this pattern available in other frameworks...
One of the main features of Caliburn.Micro is manifest in its ability to remove the need for boiler plate code by acting on a series of conventions. Some people love conventions and some hate them. That’s why CM’s conventions are fully customizable...
Up until now I’ve been focusing on fairly simple usage of Screens and Conductors. In this article, I want to show something a bit more sophisticated. This sample is based loosely on the ideas demonstrated by Billy Hollis in this well-known DNR TV...
Let’s look at another example: this time a simple MDI shell that uses “Screen Collections.” As you can see, once again, I have kept things pretty small and simple: Here’s a screenshot of the application when it’s running...
Previously, we discussed the theory and basic APIs for Screens and Conductors in Caliburn.Micro. Now I would like to walk through the first of several samples. This particular sample demonstrates how to set up a simple navigation-style shell using Conductor<T>...
Actions, Coroutines and Conventions tend to draw the most attention to Caliburn.Micro, but the Screens and Conductors piece is probably most important to understand if you want your UI to be engineered well. It’s particularly important if you want...
Before our WP7 detour , we were deep in the thick of Actions . I mentioned that there was one more compelling feature of the Actions concept called Coroutines. If you haven’t heard that term before, here’s what wikipedia * has to say: In computer...
We briefly introduced actions in Pt. 1 , but there is so much more to know. To begin our investigation, we’ll take our simple “Hello” example and see what it looks like when we explicitly create the actions rather than use conventions...
In the last part we discussed the most basic configuration for Caliburn.Micro and demonstrated a couple of simple features related to Actions and Conventions. In this part, I would like to explore the Bootstrapper class a little more. Let’s begin...
In this tutorial we will learn a few of the basics of Caliburn.Micro . Let’s start by getting the framework. Head on over to http://caliburnmicro.codeplex.com/SourceControl/list/changesets Either use Mercurial to clone the repo or click on the link...
When my “Build Your Own MVVM Framework” talk was chosen for Mix10, I put a temporary hold on this series of blog posts. I wanted to dedicate significant time to working on a sample framework and demo that would make a top notch Mix presentation...
There’s a whole lot of talk these days about MVVM. It’s the “hep” thing and everyone wants in. There isn’t a single day lately where someone doesn’t post about this topic (and I read their post..I’ve tried really...
Because of my main job and lack of human resources there, I invest less and less in community. Thus I lost my MVP title. Sorry, guys. Also a ton of management tasks in big company prevents me from actual coding. However I am still able to find some time...
One of the most common problems in WPF is memory/processor time consumption. Yes, WPF is rather greedy framework. It become even greedier when using unmanaged resources, such as memory files or interop images. To take care on it, you can implement singleton...
For the last week most of WPF disciples are discussing how to get rid of hardcoded property name string inside INotifyPropertyChanged implementation and how to keep using automatic properties implementation but keep WPF binding working. The thread was...
