MVVM Light V3 on NuGet (now with WP7 support)

There was already a version of MVVM Light on Nuget before. However the old version did not support Windows Phone 7. This is now corrected. Also the new version now adds a ViewModelLocator to your project and includes it in App.xaml.

What is NuGet?

NuGet is a mechanism allowing to add packages (assemblies, source code…) to an existing project. All versions of MVVM Light are supported (WPF3.5, WPF4, Silverlight 3, Silverlight 4, Windows Phone 7).

In order to install NuGet and learn more about this cool package manager, go to http://nuget.org

I have been successful binding the application bar controls in WP7 using MVVM light. All I'm doing is creating a dependency property and then binding that in the xaml and creating the app bar in c# code. Thanks for creating the MVVM light.

Tryed it on a project create with the Panorama Application template. Works fine.

I see just a little "disturbing" effect. The original template contains a ViewModels directory. So after I installed MvvmLight, I get a ViewModel and a ViewModels directory (both having a MainViewModel).

Perhaps would be better if the code reuses the existing ViewModels directory.

Yeah I hear you unfortunately the ways I have to generate folders is limited in NuGet (or maybe I didn't find the right way). I try to stay as "light" as possible in what I generate in order to avoid this kind of issues, but this is hard...

Cheers,
Laurent

Laurent, you absolutely ROCK! Being here in Japan, I have never had a chance to actually attend your sessions at MIX, but I get your message through Channel 9 and places like here. I am really glad for what you brought to the Silverlight table.
Silverlight and WPF is still in its infancy here, but my group and I are starting into it, and you MVVM Light is going to give us a great kick-start to do it the right way.
Thanks,
Alan Wooley

Hi,

Thanks so much for the kind words. I would love nothing much coming to Japan for a conference some day :)

Cheers,
Laurent

Laurent,

What do you think about distributing the beta version of V4 through NuGet as well? This way we can get updates automatically and it'd be easier to work with multiple versions of MvvmLight across different projects.

Hi,

Yes I want to do that absolutely. I was just quite busy with the installer lately ;) but I will publish a V4 beta on Nuget soon.

Cheers,
Laurent

An installer?! That's great to hear. I think that'll open up MvvmLight to a whole lot more people.
However, at least if you're working with VS2010, I think NuGet is fast emerging as the best delivery mechanism for these kinds of things.

Cheers.

Totally agree with you, I love NuGet too which is why I delivered V3 on there very fast. I need a different package for V4 beta obviously, that will come soon ;)

Cheers,
Laurent
