Looking for examples?

The examples are located in a separate repository at http://catelexamples.codeplex.com.

Core

The core library of Catel contains some very useful classes, even when not developing anything with MVVM (but, for example, a website):

Argument class (always check your input, now easy with Argument.IsNotNull("argument", argument), etc)
IoC container (with extented support for Unity, MEF, Ninject, Windsor, etc)
Memento pattern
MessageMediator (mediator pattern)
WeakEventListener (no more memory leaks, works for all target frameworks)

MVVM

The MVVM framework includes the following features that differs this project from other frameworks:

Communication with other view models via simple attributes, no messengers needed (but still, a MessageMediator is available)
Solves the nested user controls problem in MVVM, view models are created on the fly when needed based on the datacontext
UserControl<TViewModel> and DataWindow<TViewModel> that are fully compatible with the MVVM framework and easy to use

Of course, the framework also implements the features you can find in any MVVM framework:

ViewModelBase with INotifyPropertyChanged, IDataErrorInfo, INotifyDataErrorInfo support
Command (a.k.a. RelayCommand)
EventToCommand and lots of other behaviors
View Model Services such as the IMessageService, IPleaseWaitService, IUIVisualizerService, etc
Design-time data support

Updated Wiki: Documentation

GeertvanHorrik — Fri, 08 Mar 2013 17:20:26 GMT

Update (March 8th, 2013)
A new online wiki is now being used. This makes is easier to write and deploy new documentation without having to regenerate and upload it.

https://catelproject.atlassian.net/wiki/display/CTL

Update (September 11th, 2011)
A new website for the documentation is created and can be found here:

http://catel.catenalogic.com

The new documentation includes both regular and reference documentation and should be much clearer and has more functionality than the wiki on codeplex.

Looking for examples?

The examples are located in a separate repository at http://catelexamples.codeplex.com.

Core

The core library of Catel contains some very useful classes, even when not developing anything with MVVM (but, for example, a website):

Argument class (always check your input, now easy with Argument.IsNotNull("argument", argument), etc)
IoC container (with extented support for Unity, MEF, Ninject, Windsor, etc)
Memento pattern
MessageMediator (mediator pattern)
WeakEventListener (no more memory leaks, works for all target frameworks)

MVVM

The MVVM framework includes the following features that differs this project from other frameworks:

Communication with other view models via simple attributes, no messengers needed (but still, a MessageMediator is available)
Solves the nested user controls problem in MVVM, view models are created on the fly when needed based on the datacontext
UserControl<TViewModel> and DataWindow<TViewModel> that are fully compatible with the MVVM framework and easy to use

Of course, the framework also implements the features you can find in any MVVM framework:

ViewModelBase with INotifyPropertyChanged, IDataErrorInfo, INotifyDataErrorInfo support
Command (a.k.a. RelayCommand)
EventToCommand and lots of other behaviors
View Model Services such as the IMessageService, IPleaseWaitService, IUIVisualizerService, etc
Design-time data support

Catel is an application development platform with the focus on MVVM (WPF, SL, WP and WinRT) and MVC (ASP.NET MVC 4). The core of Catel contains an IoC container, models, validation, memento, message mediator, argument checking, etc.

Catel.MVVM contains all the MVVM classes such as ViewModelBase, Command, services, etc.

Catel.MVC contains all the MVC classes.

Catel also provides extensions such as Controls, FluentValidation and Prism.

The release cycle is very short (4 weeks), so all found features and bugs are solved within 4 weeks.

If you are not convinced yet, take a look at the MVVM comparison sheet and you will be convinced.

Catel is an application toolkit with the focus on MVVM, and consists of two basic pillars and extensions:

Catel.Core contains an IoC container, data objects, validation, memento, message mediator, argument checking, etc. This can be used in any application and is not specific for Windows applications.

Catel.MVVM contains all the MVVM classes such as ViewModelBase, Command, services, etc.

Catel also provides extensions such as Controls, FluentValidation and Prism.

The release cycle is very short (4 weeks), so all found features and bugs are solved within 4 weeks.

If you are not convinced yet, take a look at the MVVM comparison sheet and you will be convinced.
