Comment Feed for Channel 9 - Prism & Silverlight: Part 3 - Modularity with Prism http://ecn.channel9.msdn.com/o9/previewImages/100/502177_100x75.jpg Channel 9 - Prism & Silverlight: Part 3 - Modularity with Prism This is part 3 of a series of screencasts illustrating some of the ideas found in "Prism" or the "Composite Application Guidance" from the Patterns and Practices team that can be used to build Silverlight applications in a way that lends itself to testability and modularity.In talking to customers building business applications with Silverlight I find that Prism (and it's friend Unity) is frequently mentioned but not everyone has seen it and so I thought I would explore it myself and capture some of the results of that exploration here.We start off with some fairly basic code which we move towards making use of dependency injection and modularity; Part 1: Taking Sketched Code Towards Unity  Part 2: Dependency Injection with Unity  Part 3: Modularity with Prism  Part 4: The Unity Bootstrapper  and then we move that code into the Silverlight world and try to illustrate some specific areas of Prism; Part 5: Moving to a Modular Silverlight Project  Part 6: Shells, Regions, Views  Part 7: Commands  Part 8: Loosely Coupled Events with Event Aggregation Part 9: Sharing Data via Region Contexts  and then finally we try and bring some of these concepts together in a longer, more realistic example of a simple Email application built using the Prism framework - warning, this is a much longer session but I wanted something that draws things together; Part 10: A Larger Example: "Email Client"  The recommendation would be that you watch the 10 screencasts in order but if that feels like too long a process or if you're already very familiar with concepts like dependency injection and containers like Unity then perhaps watch the last screencast first and then refer back to the previous screencasts if certain areas need more illumination. I put the source code for Video 10 here for download as it's a bigger set of source and something you might want to explore after the video - this does not necessarily represent "best practise" but is, instead, just meant to illustrate some of the Prism ideas. en Wed, 22 May 2013 12:46:13 GMT Wed, 22 May 2013 12:46:13 GMT Rev9 Re: Prism & Silverlight: Part 3 - Modularity with Prism People should use these videos as examples of how to produce a perfect tutorial. Amazing stuff.

Smiley

 

Is there a way to use the app.config to register types rather than in the Initialize of the modules?

On the app.config front - not sure if it was to yourself but I discussed this with someone on mail the other day - shouldn't be too difficult to inject another service that does the wiring of regions to views to avoid having to embed too much in those module initializers.

Great series! One non related comment though, surprise that while adding references why don't you use the recent tab instead of going to the prism folder each time??? Just wondering...

Thanks for these videos Mike, you're the best!
