I am not a regular with the MVVM pattern and this is basically my first time playing with it.
What I used to do ("normal" WPF), was creating my Views with a Business layer and perhaps a datalayer (which usually contains my entities created by a service or the Entity Framework).
Now after some toying I created a standard template from MVVM Light and did this:
Locator:
public class ViewModelLocator
{
static ViewModelLocator()
{
ServiceLocator.SetLocatorProvider(() => SimpleIoc.Default);
if (ViewModelBase.IsInDesignModeStatic)
{
SimpleIoc.Default.Register<IUserService, DesignUserService>();
}
else
{
SimpleIoc.Default.Register<IUserService, IUserService>();
}
SimpleIoc.Default.Register<LoginViewModel>();
}
public LoginViewModel Login
{
get
{
return ServiceLocator.Current.GetInstance<LoginViewModel>();
}
}
}
Login ViewModel:
public class LoginViewModel : ViewModelBase
{
private readonly IUserService _userService;
public RelayCommand<Object> LoginCommand
{
get
{
return new RelayCommand<Object>(Login);
}
}
private string _userName;
public String UserName
{
get { return _userName; }
set
{
if (value == _userName)
return;
_userName = value;
RaisePropertyChanged("UserName");
}
}
/// <summary>
/// Initializes a new instance of the LoginViewModel class.
/// </summary>
public LoginViewModel(IUserService userService)
{
_userService = userService;
_closing = true;
}
private void Login(Object passwordBoxObject)
{
PasswordBox passwordBox = passwordBoxObject as PasswordBox;
if (passwordBox ==
