I’ve been looking over the MVVM Light Toolkit.
I haven’t had the opportunity to work with WPF extensively, in the past. For the most part, I’ve created custom controls or worked on maintenance of existing applications. Both of these activities keep me away from the architectural aspects of the MVVM. I know that there were several frameworks for the MVVM pattern that had been developed over the years. With my recent change in jobs, I have had the opportunity to start learning about MVVM Light Toolkit.
I’ve only started today, so this post serves mostly as a bookmark.

Notes:
- The CodePlex site has some getting started info, but I found it a bit outdated.
- You can download an MSI from the CodePlex website, which will add the templates (project, viewmodel, etc.) to Visual Studio.
- I haven’t tried it, but it should be possible to add the toolkit to an existing project using NuGet.

Notes:
- The ViewModelLocator is very interesting
