DynamicMvvM – An Overview

 

Goals

1. How do you adapt a pre-existing Object Model (that doesn’t support notifications)?
2. How do I extend my ViewModel with a commanding infrastructure?
3. How do I make my standard .Net resource available as part of ViewModel Metamodel?
4. How do I make my model support a State Machine?
   • This is could be really useful when to trigger actions based on object state
   • Essentially, we’re moving all action(s)/behaviors into commands making the models passive
5. How do I extend the existing Model with new properties?
6. How do I create a brand new model from scratch (fully dynamic)?
7. How do I make related information part of Model MetaModel?
   • For example, EmployeeKind can be an enum of ‘Skilled, Unskilled, Others’.
8. How do I emulate standard static C# property on a Dynamic model?
9. How do I add support for Radio / Linked Properties
10. How do I translate an existing object into a dynamic Model?
11. How do I translate the same back?
