I am building Silverlight LoB app with WCF RIA services. Inorder to implement SL

  • 0

I am building Silverlight LoB app with WCF RIA services. Inorder to implement SL I looked at the available MVVM toolkits\frameworks. Application I am building is very light weight with 8-10 UI screens having typical list and detailed information (CRUD operations).

I tried using MVVM light but it doesn’t readily support WCF RIA Service project template. Need to do some customization.

Then I came across this toolkit called Simple MVVM. It works fine and addresses my requirement.

But before I start implementing my application using this toolkit I would like to know if there are any limitations/known issues with it.

This site has comparison of MVVM frameworks but Simple MVVM is having low rating. This comparison was done with older version of Simple MVVM.

Any information in this regard would be helpful. Thank you.

    Jeremy just updated the stats for my Simple MVVM Toolkit, which has had over 5,000 downloads since I launched it on Jan 1, 2011. I designed it to support messaging, commands, async, modal dialogs, dependency injection for unit testing and, yes, WCF RIA Services.

    I’ve published a simple getting started screen cast, as well as a two-part screen cast for using the toolkit with WCF RIA Services. The nice thing is that my toolkit comes with an easy installer and onine documentation, as well as a number of Visual Studio project templates, including one for RIA Services.

    Go here to get the toolkit: Simple MVVM Toolkit.
