My solution contains a Player.xaml (...
Why is the unit test useful when the view is not unit testable in MVVM? In MVVM, we have the models, view-models, and views.

If the views are not unit testable, why test the other two? Will unit...

But I'm unclear as to what and when the model entities are populated. So for example: Lets say I have app that needs to create a new record i...

It seems that the XAML in MVVM pattern has difficulty to pop-up a Messageboxes. My client insists that the validation labels and colors are not good for them. They still want a messagebox.

Don't store them in the view models at all, and use FindAncestor to bind directly to propert...

This would result in two applications that had completely different GUIs, yet used the exact...
