Design Patterns A few popular design patterns

Model View Controller (MVC) Model View Presenter (MVP) Model-View View Model (MVVM)

Design Patterns 3 Parts

Model – Busisness rules, data access, model classes etc View – The User Interface – PhoneApplicationPage ViewModel – acts as the “glue” between the Models

and the Views

View ViewModel Model

Presentation Layer Business Domain

Why MVVM?

Design-Time Data

Separation of Concerns

More Testable Code

Better Code Re-use

Simplified Maintenance

What is Commanding?Commanding allows "commands" to be routed from a View to a ViewModel:

Button Click

Commanding

View.xaml

View.cs ViewModel
