In this chapter, we have dealt with what is probably the most important aspect related to LOB applications development, data binding in form controls. We have also discovered the flexibility that Silverlight offers in order to perform these tasks declaratively, without forgetting that they can also be carried out from Code-Behind. We have learned how to generate validations in controls and how to fulfill data conversions. Last but not least, we introduced the ViewModel concept, which will be explained in detail in the following chapter, when defining Model View ViewModel pattern (MVVM).
Now that we have covered the basics, in the next chapter, we will learn how to structure and design our application in a robust manner. Also, the MVVM pattern and the MVVM Light toolkit library will be covered in detail, as well as how to decouple modules using MEF.
