Some of you may be wondering about the status of Caliburn.  I'm presently working on the new version and am having great success making it compatible with both WPF and Silverlight.  It hasn't been easy, but it is going to work.  There's a lot of under-the-hood improvements...

This is a somewhat made-up scenario based on a recent project. My client has not given me permission to discuss the specifics of the application (yet), so I apologize for keeping it vague. I hope you don't give up before the payoff. The Problem Imagine an application, where a user can create "styles"...

After asking some questions of the community and doing some thinking, I've finally devised a plan of action for Caliburn: I'm going to freeze the current source code where it's at.  Anyone who is using it can be assured that it's not going anywhere.  However, I will not be making...

I've just put together a document briefly describing the current set of features that Caliburn supports.  I've added it to the official documentation and copied it below.  If you are new to Caliburn, this should give you a good idea about what we've been up to.  I say "we"...

Danny Simmons has a post on why to use Entity Framework . Here's my main gripe with Danny's post and all other such posts on EF. Microsoft keeps waxing on about how EF is so much more than an object relational mapper, but in reality it is still so much less than nHibernate, which has become the...
