Yesterday we posted that we are looking for beta testers to work with the new MVVM support features coming to our Docking/MDI for WPF product in the 2011.1 version. Beta testers will be able to access the new functionality before 2011.1 is officially released.
Going along with that theme, we’ve had several customers request official support for Prism (Composite WPF), a Microsoft guidance designed to help build rich and flexible WPF desktop applications. In the past, one of our guru customers had made an open-source set of classes to allow integration of Docking/MDI with Prism and he shared the work with the community via our forums.
Now that our native MVVM support features have been completed for Docking/MDI 2011.1, we’re considering creating an official Prism integration assembly that harnesses our new MVVM features, and placing it in our open source contrib project.
Today I’d like to ask how much interest there is out there in us implementing such an integration assembly. Please comment below if you’d like to see these features added. And if you’d like to beta test them when we do implement them, please follow the directions in yesterday’s call for beta testers post.
Thanks for your input, we want to make sure Docking/MDI continues to be the premier docking window product for WPF.
