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

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

The patterns & practices team has just released Prism-v2.1, an updated version of the Composite Application Guidance for WPF & Silverlight, which has some breaking changes, mostly related to Silverlight 3 (from the “New in this release” article): All Visual Studio projects (Composite Application Library, reference implementation, and Quickstarts) were migrated to use Silverlight 3.... read more
A question we get asked frequently is: “How do I start learning Prism? Is there a particular order for the Quickstarts? What other web resources do you recommend to start learning?”. If you are in this situation, or just want to have some more insight on a particular Prism topic, this is the post for... read more
Most developers are familiar with code snippets. They are really useful while developing code, mainly because they make some of the most common developing tasks easier and faster, by making us just fill in a couple of blanks. This is great, but Julian had an idea that I believe will make the code snippets we... read more
One of the most common questions we get at the Prism forums is of the type: “How do I execute my command when X happens?” (X not being a button being clicked ). A sample of this type of question can be seen here, where a particular command needs to be executed whenever a textbox’s... read more
The other day I was trying to create a new WPF Prism application and I wanted to be able to load modules from XAML. To make things simpler I decided to check the documentation, but was not able to find any example on how to get this done, as the sample is for Silverlight applications.... read more
Yesterday I blogged about the Prism-v2 Reference Implementation migrated to Silverlight 3 with Out of Browser Capabilities. You can read that post here. Today I wanted to compare the validation provided by the RI to the one that comes with Silverlight 3. I came up to the conclusion that the approach provided by p&p is... read more
A couple of months ago I migrated the Composite Application Guidance for WPF and Silverlight (Prism-v2) Reference Implementation to Silverlight 3 Beta version and added Out-of-Browser functionality to it. You can read all about that here. Today I updated the same application but for the latest Silverlight 3 release. The main difference is the update... read more
