Guidelines on developing WPF and Silverlight Applications

Microsoft has recently released the guidelines for developing composite WPF and Silverlight applications. The guidelines are supported with sample source code and documentation. The Composite Application Guidance for WPF and Silverlight is designed to help you more easily build enterprise-level Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) and Silverlight client applications. It will help you design loosely coupled, independently evolvable pieces that work together in the overall application.

The guidance includes a reference implementation, reusable library code (named the Composite Application Library), documentation, QuickStart tutorials, and hands-on labs.
