Compiled bindings (x:Bind) in UWP Compiled bindings in UWP are great for performance, but a bit hard to use in combination with (automatically resolving) MVVM frameworks because the views usually don’t have typed view model classes on them.

This means that if there are types with a circular dependency using dependency injection, the TypeFactory will throw a CircularDependencyException with the exact type path which was used to create the type instead of a StackOverflow without any info. As you can see in the image below, when a dependency causes a circular dependency, you… read more →
It has been quite a while, but today a new version of Catel is released. It took us more time then usual, but in return we have a great version ready to be downloaded via the site or via NuGet.

Performance improvements For this release, we focused on… read more →
