Over the last week, Matias and I took some time to work on something a Prism Training Kit. We figured out that was one of the things that would be useful to learn Prism. Therefore, we decided to create a set of Hands on Labs that cover the basic topics addressed by Prism (if you... read more
Today with Guido Maliandi, we set to find a way to use the Accordion from the Silverlight toolkit as region in a Prism application. As the Accordion inherits from ItemsControl, Prism already provided some functionality to get that control working as a region. However, we wanted it to have the following behavior: Only one view... read more
This thread from the Prism forum presents the following question (this is not an actual quote but a summary): Are there any examples with multiple Shell windows, as the Prism documentation mentions? First I re-read this article from the Prism documentation so I could get in the same page as the user. I’m not going... read more
The holidays are over, happy new year everyone and I hope it is a good one for all of you. It’s time for the first post of the year, which continuing last year’s trend will deal with Prism. A couple of weeks ago this question in the Prism forum got Fer and I thinking how... read more
About a week ago in the Prism forum we got a question about an issue in the scenario displayed below. The Issue When the MainView was removed from the MainRegion, the RightOne and RightTwo regions were not removed from the RegionManager and the views were still being referenced by the region. We were able to... read more
As I thought this is a question that could interest many people, instead of answering this question directly in the Prism codeplex forum I decided to create a short blog post and answer it here. The answer is “kind of”. Silverlight 4 Beta, so far, only supports binding commands to controls that inherit from ButtonBase... read more

Most of you know that a Silverlight 4 Beta was released last Wednesday, after Scott Gu’s PDC keynote. If you are a Prism user, and if you are reading this there’s a high chance you are, you are probably wondering how this relates to p&p future plans. Well, Blaine has given us a brief idea... read more

On a previous post in this series I talked about a possible approach to take when starting to learn Prism as a whole (the Tip numbering is resumed from the previous post). In this post I will get more specific and talk about one of the most used (if not the most used) pattern when... read more

As most of you might know, Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2 was released some days ago. Ever since, many people have asked at the Prism codeplex forums if Prism works with this latest version. That’s why with Fer we decided to migrate Prism latest release for Silverlight 3 to VS 2010 Beta 2. Our conclusion... read more

Now that the Prism team has shipped a new version of the guidance, I thought it would be a good time to blog on this subject, based on some research we did with Ezequiel, Matias and Julian. This article will not focus on how to workaround the limitations of using Silverlight 3 Navigation with Prism... read more
