Question

I am developing an app using Windows Phone 7.
I have used MVVM for WPF app development before but was wondering if MVVM is suitable for WP7 app development too.
If not can you please suggest some architectures\frameworks to refer to use in WP7.

If I use MVVM, how do we navigate from one page to another and set DataContext of the page to a ViewModel?

Thanks.

Answer 1

Absolutely!

There are tons of resources online that talk about MVVM use in Windows Phone Dev .. simply search.

Two prominent MVVM frameworks in use are:

• MVVM Light: http://galasoft.ch/mvvm/
• Ultralight MVVM: http://ultralightmvvm.codeplex.com/

Have fun!
