Creating a New MVVM Light Project

If you’re starting a new project, you can easily create a new MVVM Light project in Visual Studio. The MVVM Light Toolkit provides a project template for each supported XAML framework, including WPF, Silverlight, Windows Phone, and Windows 8.

1. In Visual Studio, go to the menu and select File > New > Project.
2. In the New Project dialog, choose one of the following categories:
   • Windows Store (Windows 8)
   • Windows (WPF)
   • Silverlight
   • Windows Phone
   You can also find all templates directly under the Visual C# category.

Executing the Application

To run the sample application:

1. Press Ctrl+F5 in Visual Studio.
2. The appropriate environment will start, and the application will be displayed.
