Data binding in WPF is very powerful and flexible, and lets you decouple your UI definition from the objects you display to a large degree. But what about the code that creates and manages those objects. If you are not careful, that can all end up as a mess of logic in the code behind of your view and you haven't really decoupled anything. The Model-View-ViewModel pattern is an approach to keep the interaction logic and data handling that support your view definition cleanly separated from the UI definition itself. This session will teach you about the MVVM pattern, how to implement it, how to bind your view controls to your ViewModel, how to relate the view and the ViewModel, how to let them communicate, and more.
