Devphone Toolkit v2 - Pickers, MessageBoxes, Controls and more for Windows Phone 7.1(5)

Todays' Mobile Monday project is a Windows Phone toolkit that I've just recently found, has just released a v2 and provides many nice touches, such as a very complete sample app, baked in support for MVVM and more...

Devphone Toolkit

Devphone toolkit is a collection of Windows phone Controls and tools built for and by the Windows Phone developer community. This release include open source code , samples & docs, plus design-time support for the Windows Phone platform.

Project Description

The Devphone Toolkit is an open-source project built on top of the Microsoft Windows phone 7.1 and .net framework 4.0. The goal is to deliver a high quality product with the code auditing FXCop - All Rules and provide facilities to control behavior and presentation. Please review the Quality Bands for information on the support and quality level of the components.

MVVM Ready

The Devphone Toolkit is the first set of controls designed to work with the MVVM pattern allowing a loose coupling and exposing the methods of control / services through interfaces, which allows test automation in the View layer-model without dependence on the mobile environment.
