A Simple WPF Architecture Demo

Some years ago I wrote an article for DevMedia group named "Comandments of Object Orientation", based in what I'd worked, learned, read, and studied. So I can say:

The goal of this project is to show how build a good (flexible) solution for WPF applications.

Well, this is not a silver bullet, but it's a starting point and I'd like to let an open discussion here.

What you can see

• How to keep logic in ViewModel, avoiding code-behind
• Use commands to abstract user actions
• Dispatch specific messages (message mediator pattern) to accomplish specific actions
• UI message services
• Program to interface, not implementation
• Model validation
• NHibernate (in a simple way)
• Mapping Models->Entities and Entities<-Models

In the next days I'm creating some wikis explaining the code

What is inside

This is an one Window only application using the following packages:

• MVVMHelper, a MVVM framework I like (binaries included).
• Material Design UI style.
• Castle Windsor Inversion of Control container.
• NHibernate for data persistance.
• Fluent NHibernate for class mapping.
• SQLite as database.
• AutoMapper for mapping one object to another (Models to Entities/Entities to Models).
• NUnit for some unit tests.

All packages available by nuget, except MVVMHelper (binaries included)

##Instructions

As SQLite database is not created, open App.xml.cs and change this line:

SessionFactory = Bootstrapper.Initialize(false);

to

SessionFactory = Bootstrapper.Initialize(true);

and run the application, so database will be created.

After first run you can change back to

SessionFactory = Bootstrapper.Initialize(false);
