Updated Visual MEFX
I’ve updated Visual MEFX to be a bit more user friendly. Get the source here.
- Refreshed look and feel
- Selectable types which display their related imports and exports
- XAP based Silverlight imports
- Removed Prism dependency
- Color based import resolution: Green = Good, Yellow = Rejected, Red = Primary Rejection
- Targets Silverlight 4 RC, .NET 4 RC
Next iteration I want to refactor the list of types via their fully qualified names (probably into a TreeView).
Windows Phone 7 Panorama Behaviors
I created a couple Windows Phone 7 Behaviors that you can use to easily add swipe functionality. Download the source here.
You can find a couple other great Windows Phone 7 videos by Roger Peters (SmartyP) here.

Design, MVVM, & Coroutines
If you missed the MIX conference, I highly suggest you watch some of the sessions available. Two of my favorite were Robby Ingebretsen’s “10 Ways to Attack a Design Problem and Come out Winning” and Rob Eisenberg’s “Build Your Own MVVM Framework”.

10 Ways to Attack a Design Problem and Come out Winning

Rob build a small framework that demonstrated a pattern of coroutines to simplify asynchronous programming. I HIGHLY recommend watching his session and looking at the code. Jeremy Likness has made a couple of posts (Part 1, Part2) to further what Rob demonstrated in his talk. Part two is a simplified version of Part 1. Enjoy!
