MVVM Light for Silverlight 5 is on Codeplex #mvvmlight

Here we go! After the Microsoft team released version 5 of Silverlight yesterday, MVVM Light is available for this version of the framework too. I did not create the installer yet (that will take a few more days), but you can download the source code and build it yourself easily.

With this latest release, this puts the number of supported frameworks to 8: .NET 3.5 SP1, .NET 4, Silverlight 3, Silverlight 4, Silverlight 5, Windows Phone 7.0, Windows Phone 7.1 and Windows 8 (preview).

The MVVM Light family

Dropping Silverlight 3 and WP7.0?

That said, I am considering dropping old frameworks now for new development. So here is a chance to make yourself heard, tell me if you think that it is OK to drop Silverlight 3 and/or Windows Phone 7.0 and to concentrate on the 6 other supported frameworks:

Thanks and happy coding!
Laurent

Can I use MVVMLight v.3 with SLV5? Or I must use the latest version targeting SLV5?

Hi,

In the V3 folder in the Source area of Codeplex, you will find the Silverlight 5 version of MVVM Light V3.

I will release the installer with templates in the next few days.

Cheers,
Laurent
