How to build a full-functional and well-organized MVVM application in a few clicks with DevExpress (Visual Studio 2012)

This Code Central example is the result of a tutorial that demonstrates how to build a fully functional and well-organized MVVM application in a few clicks: Getting Started. You can also watch the WPF Scaffolding Wizards video that replicates the steps of the first lesson in the tutorial.

The example contains two Visual Studio solutions: the first is in C# and the second one - in Visual Basic.

Please note that to get the Visual Basic version, we have converted the C# one. It is related to the fact that in this example, we have used the Scaffolding Wizards feature that does not support Visual Basic: S171399: Scaffolding Wizards - Provide the capability to use Scaffolding Wizards for Visual Basic projects.

The sample is built with Visual Studio 2012 using Framework 4.5 and Entity Framework 5.0. If you use Visual Studio 2010, here is another example that is adapted for this version: E4700: How to build a full-functional and well-organized MVVM application in a few clicks with DevExpress (Visual Studio 2010).

In the solution folder, you can also find the Northwind improved database (with improved pictures and updated dates). This database is used in the sample as a data source.
