 Hi Gustav --

Thank you for your comment.

"Light" means really light here - a couple of days, with clear goals, all but one are already achieved/solved, last one - I have  found its solution in a sample project and I'm now adapting it to my "light" framework. Most of actual work hasn't been spent on this "light" framework but on other tasks in this project...

I'm using ICommand, INotifyPropertyChaged interfaces and nested properties binding in WPF and SilverLight, the latter is actually the target deployment technology requested by the customer - they don't mind it "has been left in the dark by Microsoft". Well, I'm trying to explain the customer this issue but they wanted the first version in SilverLight...

This "light" framework - actually is a small set of generic classes + nested application logic classes - they allow to keep WPF/SilverLight XAML forms/pages/controls' code behind 100% clean of any not even business but also UI navigation, updates etc, logic/code. And I'm not "inventing the wheel" (AFAIS from the Net quite a few devs do similar things but I haven't seen any info with all the technical details posted - so I have to make these details "reinvented" here by myself) - the "magic" comes from WPF/SIlverlight native binding features. This "code behind cleanness" + nested "architecture" of custom business logic classes allows to modularize the whole development code base - the goal is to work on such projects in a team not alone...

Once again, I'm not inventing anything here, I'd even suppose there could be somewhere already done something like that but it's not easy to filter out so much information to find this solution when working on an urgent project..

>>> Even "light", isn't that a major task?
I do realize your concerns, Gustav.

I hope I will have free time in a couple of weeks to share my findings here.

Thank you.

>Well, it's alerayd working, and it's working well (thanks to MS, C#, .NET Framework and many other sources I've worked through intensively in the last couple of weeks...) - and it's working so well that I'm getting a kind of excited of it - of this declarative MVVM binding "magic" of WPF and Silverlight and XAML/C#/.NET Framework in general...
