So, including some sample (at least CRUD operations) on this topic would be great! I am quite interested to know way of writing database application (mostly with SQL Server) in WPF using MVVM.

If you need help with this, contact me through my blog and I'll send you some sample code. What I'd like to see is a ThreadSafeObservableCollectionViewModel with SelectedItem and SelectedItems properties.

You asked what we would like to see in your book and I can imagine that it is quite useful for developers (who are switching from WinForms to WPF and it's related patterns) to get an explanation in what cases to use the MVVM pattern and why to use it. Imagine a WinForms application with twenty not extremely complex forms and a customer who wants them to be converted to WPF because of the dull grey controls don't fit in the new 'bling-bling' company policy. Should the rusty developer who normally lives in 'VS-designer mode' switch to using the MVVM pattern and spend more time typing code? It would be nice if this developer can make the right decision after reading your book... ... and no, that developer is not me, it is someone I know ;-) @Brian Lagunas

It almost sounds like you are talking about WinForms. If you are in WinForms you may want to look at the Presentation Model pattern my Martin Fowler. Either way, MVVM is just a pattern, and like most patterns, it was designed to help in the all mightly quest of attaining seperation of concern, and testability. There is no rule or law that says you must use a pattern. If you are comfortable with code-behind, and binding directly to a table adapter, then by all means go for it. If you are interested in any kind of pattern based development, try to find one that you like. Just remember, patterns are just there for guidance, feel free to modify them to fit your needs. @Taco

Should you use MVVM or just the VS-designer drag-drop DataGrid/DataBindingSource/TableAdapter? - Master-detail relations. - Undo/Redo stack. Thank you in advance. Great idea, looking forward to it!
