Prism Modules - Why do I need them

Question

For a mid sized application that makes use of MEF catalogs is there really any advantage in my using Prism modules rather than just putting the different functionality into different class libraries. I just can't see why I would need to use Modules.

Anyone have any thoughts on this?

Thanks,

Richard

Answer 1

Modules are used when you want to perform initialization actions when the module is loaded. This can be for example the registration of views to regions using the Prism IRegionManager interface.
