This post was written for Caliburn 1.1, I guess you are using 2.0, in that case, take a look at this post:

http://iserialized.com/upgrading-caliburn/

It describes whats different and need to be changed to upgrade.

No unfortunately I get the same problem. What version of Caliburn are you using Paul? Thanks again for all your help!

Thanks Paul for the quick response. I’ll give it all a whirl now using the latest release from http://caliburn.codeplex.com/releases

Thanks for the tutorial. I’m trying all this for the first time and I’ve got the same problem as Igor. I also tried to download your source from http://filehub.iserialized.com/ but get the error:

Forbidden

I’m using VS2010

Fantastic tutorial, Paul! Hits the right balance between “type this” and “why you’re typing this”.

Hi!
Try download the full source code here:
http://filehub.iserialized.com/

Check your naming of class and namespace in App.xaml and App.xaml.cs, might be something like that!
Cheeers!

I’v started learned caliburn, but, even in your example –

Error 2 The type ‘ApplicationModel:CaliburnApplication’ was not found. Verify that you are not missing an assembly reference and that all referenced assemblies have been built. D:\Install\CaliburnCalculator\CaliburnCalculator\CaliburnCalculator\App.xaml 1 2 CaliburnCalculator

I’m not quite sure about that. I have never testes that design. I recommend the forum at caliburn.codeplex.com if it doesnt work straight forward with your setup. Remember that some of Caliburns strength is convention over configuration so I recommend changing your your setup/configuration instead of tweaking the framework too much!

Hi
I want to use caliburn. Currently I have my view and view model in different assemblies . What special care will I need to take care when I am having this kind of project structure ?

Hi!
As far as I have understood, most of the features are Available in Silverlight as well, but there are some limitations. Take a look at the discussions on caliburn.codeplex.com !

Cheers
Paul!

Very useful indeed …
Is it possible to have the same scenario for silver-light 3 !!

Hi Thomas!
I will add the source code as soon as possible! I’ll post and update when everything is in place!

Thanks for this, but could you please include the source code of this project?

Hi Gerard!
Caliburn can be setup with more than one View per ViewModel (as expected with MVVM), through use of View.Context. I plan to add another blog post describing this in more detail, but I have not had time to do this yet!

Regarding the StackPanel, I only use StackPanel for example purposes.

Hope this helps!

Hi Paul,

just another question.
The shell window consists of a StackPanel which bounds to a collection holding 'Presenters'. Ok, this give me a lot of flexibility.
But, I need something like an explorer window. The left pane holds a list of commands and the right pane (the content pane) shows different input masks or what ever. So its a MultiPresenter scenario, but you cant implement it using a single presenter collection .....

Dis you?

With best regards

Gerhard

Hi Paul,

I am looking out for a good WPF framework and struggle over Caliburn. I don't try out the sample but I read the text carefully.

Caliburn use some naming conventions to tie up the different parts, so we don't have to write some infrastructure description files in xml or whatever. Nice.
But what is this naming convention, if you want more than one view associated to a Viewmodel? Or is the naming convention only good enough for simple apps and you have to do different steps to get a complex app running??

Thanks for helping

Hi thanks for the good feed back!

You will find the interfaces and class you ask for in the second code-listing in the post. Right after the text: "Here we will just make a very simple version of the Event Aggregator, as this is not the focus in this example"

The event aggregator is just a simple implementation I wrote for this example.

Just let me know if you still have problems with this!

Best regards
Paul

Hi Paul,
Your post is a good startup for caliburn. I tried your example, but i am facing some issues while debugging.

IEventAggregator and ISubscriber could not be found in any of the referenced dlls.

It seems that CaliburnCalculator.EventAggregator class is missing and ISubscriber interface.

Please help me out to solve this debugging issue.

Thanks,
$enthil

Sorry in my last comment unit adapter, is of course UnityAdapter!

By: Paul Eie

Paul Eie — Sun, 03 Jan 2010 23:42:02 +0000

Hi, I am glad it could help!
Check the following:
1. Verify that you have used the name CaliburnCalculator for the namespace, solution and App
2. Check that CreateRootModel in your App is called
3. Go through your viewmodels and views to verify that you have used the correct naming on namespaces, classes and interfaces.
4. Add a break point in NumberInputViewModel constructor to verify that it is called

If you go through all this and you still have a problem we should at least have ruled out problems with the unit adapter. If it still fails, could you check that shellView exists? and also post the content of shellView.xaml and ShellViewModel.cs here?

Hope it helps!

Paul, thank zou for zour detailed introduction of caliburn! It's realy a good startup!
I tried to get my first caliburn application running following your example, but unfortunately I get an empty window (and it is not the ShellView). During debugging I see in caliburns DefaultWindowManager that a ShellView has been created and the ShellViewModel.Activate is called.
But an empty and untitled window opens.
Any idea?
