For several years we're using Caliburn 1.0 in a very large desktop application.

It's seems that ViewModels these days use PropertyChangeBase, but that just for lazy people. Seriously all it's does it raising the PropertyChanged event.

ViewModels don't longer seem to have:

- Validation
- Undo support (BeginEdit, EndEdit, CancelEdit, IsDirty, etc)
- Visitor pattern (Accept)
- MetaData

Any advise how to upgrade to Caliburn 2.0 or Caliburn.Micro without loosing these features. We've build a ton of code on top ModelBase class. It may sound weird, but I believe we gain more if we stay with the Caliburn 1.x framework.

the following three lines were indicating as error even after I have setup and copied and pasted and followed you class namings correctly. I am using WPF framework with Caliburn and my Window1.xaml file correctly. <cal:AllCommand x:Key="Grandfather" /> <cal:AllCommand x:Key="All" /> <cal:AnyCommand x:Key="Any" /> I have also ensured the xmlns:cal="http://www.caliburnproject.org" is in place in the header part of Window1.xaml file. The other part of the Window.xaml file is fine and only showing errors linked three lines above. Following is the error message from Visual Studio 2010 while trying to compile. The tag 'AllCommand' does not exist in XML namespace 'http://www.caliburnproject.org'. Need your help, please.

Hi guys,

here is the Code I have question about:

<UserControl.Resources>
        <HierarchicalDataTemplate x:Key="StrukturTemplate"
                                  ItemsSource="{Binding SubTree}">
            <TextBlock Text="{Binding StrukturName}" />
        </HierarchicalDataTemplate>
        <HierarchicalDataTemplate x:Key="StrukturBaumTemplate"
                ItemTemplate="{StaticResource StrukturTemplate}" ItemsSource="{Binding SubTree}">
            <TextBlock Text="{Binding StrukturName}" />
        </HierarchicalDataTemplate>
    </UserControl.Resources>
    
    <Grid>
        <telerik:RadTreeView ItemsSource="{Binding StrukturExplorer, Mode=TwoWay}" IsExpandOnSingleClickEnabled="True" ItemTemplate="{StaticResource StrukturBaumTemplate}" 
                             cal:Message.Attach="[Event Selected] = [Action ExecuteSelect(StrukturId)]"
                             Height="Auto" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Name="StrukturBaum" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="300" SelectionMode="Single" />
    </Grid>

I want to send the Id of the selectedItem to the viewModel. How can I do this? StrukturId is a property in my VM.

New Post: Spring and dependency injection

Elsif — Fri, 20 Jul 2012 17:55:25 GMT

Hello,

I'm trying to develop a WPF application with Caliburn, Spring.NET NHibernate. I have it separated in several assemblies, depending on the business area (it means that I can have a folder Views and ViewModels in more than one). My bootstrapper is very simple, and as you can see, I select the assemblies that have viewmodels and views:

public class SpringBootsrapper : Bootstrapper<MainViewModel> 
    {
        protected override IServiceLocator CreateContainer()
        {
            XmlConfigurator.Configure();

            var cxt = ContextRegistry.GetContext();
            
            GenericApplicationContext context = new GenericApplicationContext(cxt);
            
            var container = new SpringAdapter(context);

            return container;
        }

        protected override IEnumerable<Assembly> SelectAssemblies()
        {
            IEnumerable<Assembly> assemblies = base.SelectAssemblies();
            IList<Assembly> ass = new List<Assembly>(assemblies);
            ass.Add(Assembly.GetAssembly(typeof(LoginViewModel)));
            return ass;
        }
}

My MainViewModel is like:

[Singleton(typeof(MainViewModel))]
    public class MainViewModel : Screen
    {
        private readonly IWindowManager windowManager;

        [ImportingConstructor]
        public MainViewModel(IWindowManager windowManager, IServiceLocator locator)
        {
            this.windowManager = windowManager;
            string[] pepe = ((SpringAdapter)locator).Context.GetObjectDefinitionNames();
            IEnumerable < LoginViewModel> logins = ((SpringAdapter)locator).GetAllInstances<LoginViewModel>();
            LoginViewModel loginWindow = IoC.Get<LoginViewModel>();
            if (loginWindow == null)
            {
                MessageBox.Show("Not exists");
            }
            else
            {
                windowManager.ShowDialog(loginWindow);
            }
        }
    }

When I start the application it comes to this constructor, but IoC is never finding LoginViewModel, but here the IWindowManager is injected.

What I am doing wrong?

The code for LoginViewModel is in another assembly:

[Export(typeof(LoginViewModel))]
public class LoginViewModel : Screen
{
    [Import]
    private IUsersService service;

    .....

}

Thanx!

@rekna: You're right about the performance issue with BindableCollection. I've just noticed it. I suspect it's caused by notification done using Execute.OnUIThread().

New Post: How to close dialog window from viewmodel?

arromanvk — Tue, 10 Apr 2012 14:20:40 GMT

I have ViewModel1 and View1 associated with it. I start dialog window from ViewModel2 (some another viewmodel) using IWindowManager object. The code from ViewModel2 class:

windowManager.ShowDialog(new ViewModel());

So, I have Dialog Window with View1 user control.

My answer is next - I can close that dialog window using red close button, but how to close it using my specific button (contained in View1 user control), something like "Cancel" button with close command (Command={Binding CancelCommand}), CancelCommand of course is contained in ViewModel1 class.

v2.0 Documentation

Caliburn 2.0 exists to support existing applications built with Caliburn 1.0 and 1.1 which wish to upgrade to the latest .NET frameworks and presentation tier idioms. Please consider switching to Caliburn.Micro for new development. Also, you may wish to investigate upgrading your Caliburn 1.0/1.1 application to Caliburn.Micro instead of Caliburn 2.0. There are no further investment in new versions for Caliburn. All future development will be focused on Caliburn.Micro.

Rated 5 Stars (out of 5) - By far the best MVVM framework,. Rob keeps on delivering. If you are even a bit serious about developing on XAML based languages, Caliburn is the way to go. I have delivered multiple WPF/Silverlight projects and I couldn't have been this successful without CM. Brilijant...

New Post: Castle Windsor Interceptor on Caliburn View Model

Janc1 — Mon, 20 Feb 2012 09:41:33 GMT

I would like create own aspects with Castle Windsor Interceptor and apply on View Model classes.

As I said I use Caliburn MVVM framework and on DI I use Caste Windsor. Everything works good.

For example I created simple loggging interceptors, here is:

public class LoggingInterceptor : IInterceptor
{
    public void Intercept(IInvocation invocation)
    {
        Console.Write("Log: Method Called: " + invocation.Method.Name);
        invocation.Proceed();
    }
}

This is simple View Model class - it is "tab item" :

public class TabViewModel : Screen, 
    ITabViewModel
{

}

When I configure IoC with Fluent API I would like apply this interceptor on View Model class.

   container.Register(Component
                    .For<LoggingInterceptor>()
                    .LifeStyle
                        .Singleton
                    .Named("LogAspect"));

        container.Register(Component
                    .For<ITabViewModel>()
                    .ImplementedBy<TabViewModel>()
                    .LifeStyle
                        .Transient
                    .Named("TabViewModel")
                    .Interceptors<LoggingInterceptor>());

When I tried pick view model from IoC:

var tabItem = IoC.Get<ITabViewModel>();
ActivateItem(tabItem);

I got this message:

A default view was not found for Castle.Proxies.ITabViewModelProxy.

Views searched for include: Castle.Proxies.IITabViewModelProxy

Castle.Proxies.ITabViewModelProxys.IDefaulCastle.Proxies.ITabViewModelProxys.Default

Also I tried this way for interceptor applicaion.

[Interceptor(typeof(LoggingInterceptor))]
public class TabViewModel : Screen, 
    ITabViewModel
{

}

Ok, I know that Caliburn framework match View and View Model by naming convention.
When I try pick implementation of ITabViewModel I get ITabViewModelProxy and for ITabViewModelProxy 
I didn’t register any View.
Target of proxy is TabViewModel but I think problem is with naming mismatch.
I dont want rename ViewModel because I would like configure proxies from XML files.

So what is correct way?

Thank you for help
