This is a video tutorial to introduce beginners to how to use both MVVM (Model-View-ViewModel) and MEF (Managed Extensibility Framework) with Silverlight (should work for versions 3 and 4). Of course, some "veterans" may want to watch as well in case you've missed some of the fundamentals, or have a clever way to do something that you can share in the comments for future visitors to the page. Want to learn more about MEF? Watch my video series, Fundamentals of the Managed Extensibility Framework.
In this edition, I build a simple application that allows the user to check a preference on the screen (whether they prefer squares over circles) and then displays a square or a circle. We use MVVM and wire everything together with MEF.
