wkempf,

Glad that you break the pattern down like that as well. I've spent a lot of time here at a rather large software company headquatered in Redmond :) teaching M-V-VM in exactly that way.

Cheers

This is a good video about what MVVM is all about, but I'd recommend the following video for those of you who want to learn how to make it happen in code:

This reminds me of when I used XSLT for (X)HTML output.

Basically I'd have a server control that took an XSLT for display rather than using a user control with a code-in-front. I would then serialize the object I wanted to display into XML and pass it to the XSLT. The nice thing was that I could use the same C# code for an RSS feed, an HTML list on a page, and a JSON feed to name a few just by swapping out XSLTs.

I imagine WPF is way more elaborate with the 2-way databinding though.

Thanks for the suggestion Minh. Especially since this was meant as an introduction to the pattern, I probably should have put more detail into the introduction. Thanks wkempf and Bob for adding some context.

We built out an extensive Silverlight 2 collaboration application using the standard code-behind model, you can check it out at:

http://www.colaab.com

and while we think we've built a high quality product some of the lessons we learned are pushing us to use MVVM pattern for building out additional functionality.

There's a good set of links regarding the MVVM pattern in this StackOverflow question:

Thanks,

It's complex enough, that there's no end to variations on the pattern. MVC, MVP, MVVM, Presentation Model (MVVM is actually just PM with a different name), Passive View, and so on. The general idea in each case though is to simply partition your classes around specific responsibilities. The View is responsible only for display, the Model is responsible for business/domain logic and the Poo (http://www.drwpf.com/blog/Home/tabid/36/EntryID/27/Default.aspx) is responsible in various ways (the variation in all of those patterns) for coordinating between the View and the Model. There's as close to a 1-paragraph description as your likely to get. From there, it's time to do a LOT of research. :P

That said, you don't have to be an expert on this family of patterns to benefit from using it.

Can we have a 1-paragraph about this design pattern? You know... in this post?
