Our company is investigating the possibility of moving from WPF to HTML5 for our application. About 150 screens! The WPF application
implements the application using MVVM with the following layers:
1. View
2. ViewModel
3. DataService
4. Model
So pretty standard approach although not sure everyone splits the data service out that accesses the Model....
We really want to use as much of the current code as we can. We plan to develop the application in ASP.NET MVC 4.
My questions:
1. Can we move the code or call the ViewModel code from the Controller to supply all the business logic that has already been coded?
We are naturally using entities that we bind to the the XAML... so we will need to put Knockout code to do the data binding. So basically we need to write tons of code for the data binding?
2. Of course we are going to run into all kinds of things that we are doing in VM's that are going to be issues. Like MessageBoxes or
InputBoxes or messaging between view models. Big issues right?
By the way we decided to move to HTML just because we would like to have our product on many more devices and updating the product can be a tough at times.
Thanks, Aaron
