Understanding the Model-View-ViewModel Pattern
The Model-View-ViewModel pattern (also called MVVM) is a hot topic in today's Silverlight and WPF world. This pattern facilitates modern development techniques such as separation of concerns (decoupling), unit testing and test driven development, work with modern tools such as Microsoft Visual Studio 2010, Microsoft Expression Blend and more. In this session, Laurent (a user and promoter of MVVM since 2006) introduces this pattern to you with many demos. We talk about the basic components of a modern Microsoft Silverlight or Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) application, and of additional helpers that will make your life as a developer much easier.

Note that this session will try to be agnostic and show code and techniques that work in Silverlight and also in WPF.

MVVM is a great pattern for Silverlight when unit testing and test-driven development is taken into account. My question: do you know of or have you built any tests that display the cost of the overhead when calls/properties/data move through the layers of MVVM. In some simple tests I found enough milliseconds delay that it disrupted the user experience. We want the ViewModel layer for obvious engineering/design reasons. But what are the costs when View moves information to VM and back to another View over and over again? When does "perfect" get in the way of "good"? The forums show instances again and again of architects expecting "perfect" MVVM that may end up destroying "good" design. I hope, with you vast experience, you can talk to these issues.

Hi Laurent,
Let me start by congratulating you on this amazing presentation. Although I am new to MVVM, I could identify where the pattern can be used and its advantages. I have downloaded the toolkit and currently playing with it. One immediate thought that came to mind is the lack of support and standardization from Microsoft regarding MVVM. Having said that, are you planning to release the source code for some of the dlls that are part of the toolkit? I understand you are maintaining it, but what would happen if you (& Josh Smith) were to get kidnapped by aliens in need of your programming skills?
Thanks!

This presentation gave a great overview and a good look at the pattern. I was impressed how you could integrate MVVM with Expression Blends, I now look forward in earnest to playing with MVVM Lite Toolkit, and the new WP7 apps.
