MVVM - RaisePropertyChanged turning code into a mess

Question

New to MVVM so please excuse my ignorance.

I THINK i\'m using it right but I find my ViewModel has too many of these:

RaisePropertyChanged(\"SomeProp         


        

Answer 1

Take a look at this What is the best or most interesting use of Extension Methods you've seen?.

It describes an extension method and a helper method that my Model and ViewModel classes use to enable the following strongly typed (no magic string) properties.

private string _name;
public string Name
{
    get { return _name; }
    set { this.NotifySetProperty(ref _name, value, () => this.Name); }
}

This is about as simple as I think it can get. Hope it helps.
