>>>Have you looked at MVVM Light ? Seems like a very quick way to get MVVM up an running for about 90% of use cases and even has snippets to roll out a lot of the code blocks.

>BTW, MS posted an EF sample called EmployeeTracker but in typical MS fashion there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of documentation of the goodies it demonstrates ( repositories, some interesting test stuff, MVVM etc ) They also have some weird thing they are doing with including the MDF in the model folder. One assumes, from the connection string, that it is to be attached to an express server but there is also some strangeness about copying it to the debug folder etc.

http://archive.msdn.microsoft.com/ef4/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=4279I don't have SQL 2008 on this machine, so I can't test it here. The DB is 2008.
But yes the config string is connecting the MDF to the SQLEXPRESS server. The copy is to the output folder (debug or release) depending on what you are building, That's so the file can be located when it is attached.
Other than that... never seen it or heard of it before.
