This is still all relatively easy... I also have a Shell with a main region were all the work will happen but now I need the following behavior: I nee...
This relates to Composite Application Guidance for WPF, or Prism. I have one "MainRegion" in my shell. My various modules will be loaded into this main region. I can populate a list of available modules in a menu and select them to load. On the click of the menu I do: var module = moduleEnumerator.GetModule(moduleName); moduleLoader.In...
The examples that Microsoft's Patterns and Practices provides are quite helpful: about a half-dozen simpler QuickStarts which touch on specific issues the StockTrader reference implementation, which is a fairly rounded application but it lacks a more useful base application that reads and writes to a data source (XML or database), al...

How do I go about testing Composite WPF applications? I was looking at the Composite Application Library and the Stock Trader reference implementation for examples, but I don't understand how their tests are organized.

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...
All QuickStarts and RI examples in the CAG documentation are good but I lack the more Enterprise scale examples. Let's say we have 40+ modules, each containing a Proxy,Facade,PresentationModel,Model and Views.
