Is your application powered by #mvvmlight?

A couple of days ago I had the wonderful surprise to find a mention (and a link!) to MVVM Light on USAToday.com. The article talks about the new USA Today app available for Windows Phone 7. MVVM Light is mentioned as well as JSON.NET just after the high quality of the development tools is mentioned:

“That same high bar for tools extends into the community as well. MVVM Light and JSON.Net were extremely useful moving past mundane tasks and instead getting to the business of building our app.” – Tim Carlson, USA TODAY

This is of course fantastic, but it made me realize that I did not, until now, keep track of what applications (in Windows Phone 7 but also Silverlight and WPF) use MVVM Light to facilitate the development.

An appeal to MVVM Light users

In order to correct this, I would love to hear from you. Do you use MVVM Light? Did you publish an application (WP7, Silverlight, WPF) using the bits? If yes, do you mind answering the following optional questions:

  • What is the name and homepage of your project?
  • What framework is it? (WP7, Silverlight, WPF?)
  • Do you allow me to use this info for promotion (on the MVVM Light Toolkit’s page, or in conferences)? (if you prefer me to keep this info confidential, you have my assurance that I will happily comply).

Feel free to answer in the comments below, or per email to laurent@galasoft.ch. This is, in advance, very much appreciated!

Happy coding,
Laurent

Since starting at my current position about ~1 yr ago, I've worked MVVMLight into every project I've touched. Those aren't public nor could I really give you metrics but I'm willing to bet I'm not alone.

As for a public project: dIRca, my wp7 IRC client uses it. I really don't see a time when any WPF/SL/WP7 project I have will not use this library. It's that good.

Hi Laurent,

KnightWalk Inc uses MVVM Light for most of its Windows Phone 7 Development.

FYI TKQuizCSharp and TKQuizDesignPattern Windows Phone 7 apps are using MVVM Light framework.

Thank you,

Hi Laurent,

You should make a Powered By MVVM Light logo :)

We use MVVM Light in our Advanced .NET Logging tool, called ReflectInsight.

We just started using WPF and the MVVM pattern at the Bureau of Labor Statistics. MVVM Light and your seminars have really helped us get off to a good start. Nothing in production yet. Shooting for end of summer. Thank you!

Map Mania for Windows Phone 7 is based on MVVMLight, and so is my action game Catch'em birds that is currently being tested. The wp7nl codeplex library that I maintain also contains a lot of MVVMlight helpers

Cocktail Flow for WP7 uses MVVM Light (http://cocktailflow.com). MVVM Light seemed to have the smallest learning curve to get started and true to its name it is very lightweight.

Thanks for your work on it!

I managed to get MVVMLight in to our internal CRM system. It's developed in house and not for the public so can't give out a link to a site or anything.

The application is written in WPF.

Thanks again for a great framework! :D
