Can someone please explain where GetModuleCatalog (Microsoft.Practices.Composite.UnityExtensions.UnityBootstrapper.GetModuleCatalog()) is called in the Prism shell? I understand that it needs to be overridden in the application Bootstrapper, but I could not find out where it is called internally when running the Bootstrapper. ...

I'm building a Silverlight application with Prism, and we'd like to use NInject. I've downloaded ninject-contrib to use their NInject bootstrapper, but it doesn't appear to build a Silverlight assembly. I compiled it myself to Silverlight, but it crashes Visual Studio. Has anyone already ported ninject-contrib to Silverlight success...

I'm currently introducing Prism to a new Wpf application, and am using the MVVM pattern. My initial approach of structuring the Wpf application was to add one project to hold the model classes, one to hold the viewmodel classes, etc. These might be split at a later time to avoid having different logical components in the same project. Ho...
I'm new to Prism, and I tend to just do as in the samples I see; place the Regions inside an ItemsControl. I have read that more controls can be used for defining region, but not all. However, I haven't seen an overview on what controls can be used to define Prism regions and not. Is there a rule or a list to it? <ItemsControl x:Name="...
Where in the solution/projects, should I put the models for the data access layer. For example, if I have a login module that needs to use a Users table in a database, and I have a User.cs model. Where would that file go. If other modules need to be able to access this User.cs for information, then I cannot put it in the module. But then...

I also want to maintain the cache of few views. If the no of view is more than the specified limit then I will remove the oldest view. Is there any direct support for it or ...
In Composite WPF (Prism), when adding modules to the IRegionManger collection, what is the difference between using IRegion.Add and IRegionManager.RegisterViewWithRegion? IRegion.Add public void Initialize() { _regionManager.Regions["MainRegion"].Add( new ModuleAView() ); } IRegionManager.RegisterViewWithRegion public void Initi...
I've been looking through the PRISM 2 samples for ideas about how to best approach a new application I'm working on, which will be a PRISM 2/WPF app. Looking in particular at the View Injection sample application that ships with PRISM I've noticed that all of the views implement an interface which allows the presenter (or ViewModel) to i...

For Example: <Image Height="40" HorizontalAlignment="Right" VerticalAlignment="Bottom" Width="40" Source...
Hi, We are looking at starting a new Silverlight project using the PRISM framework (to benefit from modules etc) and I am still a little unclear about the best styling approach. What I'd ideally like is to have editable XAML files (maybe even just 1 for the whole project) containing the application's style so that they can be edited to ...
Ok, here's my simple scenario. I've got collection of strings that I'm binding to a TabControl as a proof of concept. As I add strings I want a new tab with the region name as the header and a ItemsControl in the Tab container. That ItemsControl should define a new region. <TabControl x:Name="tabDemo" ItemsSource="{Binding D...
Hi, I have created a project using the PRISM framework. I have a few modules that I can register and display in the shell and this works fine. What I need to do is dynamically display and hide the modules when a particular event is received from the event aggregator. I fire off a DisplayModule event that should be received and hide an ...
