Link for iteration number 6 up now. Not a big one, but feels like one. Application finally does something other than read the database. It can now also add something to it. Made that "Hello World" page actually show the necessary information to add a reviewer to the system.
Progress on this went quickly. I started just a half hour ago. Quickly getting used to making WPF screens in this fashion. Making fewer errors and building up the confidence to do some other small changes like tweaking the back ground colours, using different layout managers (StackPanel this time over grid). Not big things, but certainly things which can have a big effect on how an application looks, and also they are things I wasn't even willing to toy with back when I was still struggling to get the functional stuff working.
May continue more tonight and I may not. Haven't decided yet. I believe I did what I set out to do... none of my xaml files require the data context to be set manually any more, you can pass it in, or in the case of the main screen, it makes its own new instance and lastly, the screen to add a reviewer does its job now.
Next task is a big one, another reason why I stopped now. Next task is to add the screen(s) to add a new recipe. Recipes span a bunch of tables and I don't even know what I want it to look like at present. Though I may inject an intermediate task. Looking at the code today, after I merged my View and ViewModel projects, I ended up with a non-sensically bad set of namespaces. I may re-factor my code, it was painful today, and finding the class I'm looking for in my own project should never be painful.
Cheers,
Alex.
