Hi, I was looking at Prism EventAggregator and its' great. I part i was most concerned was its capability to marshal thread correctly to UI thread. I was wondering if i can use this capability to provide module developers a class which could be used to create threads in a similar way as BackgroundWorker. Interface of class can be some...
I am using the templates for prism by David Hill and each application module contains a App.xaml file. I was sure that each module as it was loaded would create the App object (startup object in properties) and then call the application_startup() event. However, this does not seem to be happening? Is this correct behaviour? If so, how w...
Hi All, I have been learning Prism and Silverlight and am now trying to create a simple application but have run into a snag... What I have is a Shell with 2 ContentControls, "MenuRegion" and "ContentRegion". The way I want it to work is that a user will click on an item in the "MenuRegion" and then the approriate view will be displa...
I have been using Prism for a while now and enjoy how much easier it is to decouple my modules. This works especially great for views and view models since you can inject the view models via interfaces and the views via the region manager. Unfortunately this only works when my views are full blown user controls unless I'm missing somet...

There are few toolbar items ( basically print,save , hide , expand , undo) which will be common to all views in the main region. For this i have created default toolbar module which will add these items ( print,save , hide , expand , undo) to the to...
I have a MVVM (Prism) application that I need to implement a master details screen wheer the master is a listview and the details is displayed next to it. Read-only seems easy enough (haven't done it yet but I've got my head around WPF binding) but edit/add confuses me. How to I make it so the master is not updated until the details is...
I am writing a MVVM application and one of the screens is quite significant in size. The screen maintains and object that has multiple lists of other objects that also get editied within the context of the transaction. I've broken the views up into multiple user controls. The model is broken up into the different class types. The proble...
I am building a Prism app with several modules, one of which (MyModule) contains a user control (MyUserControl) that I created. MyUserControl tests fine, but when I add it to MyModule and run the app, I get this exception: "Cannot find type 'MyUserControl'. The assembly used when compiling might be different than that used when loading ...
I have an app that has several modules that have completely different functionality and I'm trying to figure out the best way to implement this using prism. To try and better explain, I'll try to use Northwind as an example. I have 3 modules, orders, customers & employees. The customer module will allow you to do anything pertaining t...
Hi, is there anyway for DelegateCommand's to support gestures when building a composite WPF app? I'm trying to create a command used by a MenuItem and also a Button, which can be accessed through a keyboard shortcut, but which sits inside a class in a separate assembly. I can use a RoutedCommand, but I want to minimise any code-behind....

I am currently learning how to make advanced usage of WPF via the Prism (Composite WPF) project. I watch many videos and examples and the demo application StockTraderRI makes me ask this question: What is the exact role of each of the following part? SomethingService: Ok, this is something to manage data SomethingView: Ok, this is ...
Using the Composite Application Guidance tools from Microsoft, It seems as if there is no mechanism to allow you to query your modules ViewModels and ask if any of them have unsaved data. This is a problem because, and I'm guilty of this as well, you cannot stop the application from terminating when there is unsaved data... I had thoug...
I have a class, that subscribes to an event via PRISMs event aggregator. As it is somewhat hard to mock the event aggregator as noted here, I just instantiate a real one and pass it to the system under test. In my test I then publish the event via that aggregator and then check how my system under test reacts to it. Since the event wil...
Hi I'm in a scenario where I'm thinking about to have several modules, and let modules depends on other modules. say that we are building a business system while one part is invoicing and we have customers in different branches. So one industry may want to use some tools and create the invoice in their way, and another industry may wan...
Using Prism - what is the best way to handle navigation in a WPF application? And how do you apply this? Are there any best practices? In my application I'm currently using Event Aggregation. Any menu item or other item that should result in navigation in the program will publish an event, and the module responsible for opening the vie...
