Why are they called apartments when they are all stuck together?
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Actually, that is correct. It would be compartment if you could get from one to the other internally but apartments are just discrete compartments. Sounded right when I thought it.

No offence taken.

Thanks.
Have been to the US quite a few times; perhaps my eyes/mind did not catch them.

Try HobbyKing(.com), great stuff - amazing prices.
Here's a random example: AUD $108.79 (gasoline powered) pulse-jet - just like the ones used on the V1 bomb in WW2.

"When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down 'happy'. They told me I didn't understand the assignment, and I told them they didn't understand life." - John Lennon

“There are pretty immense torsional forces being put on the frame when the band is fully wound, which turned our starch car into a ticking bomb,” says Greenberg. “Any small cracks in the body would culminate in a huge explosion as the frame tore itself apart, often mid-way down the track.”
So you use two rubber bands.
Some people are just so dumb.

Before I retired I wrote several applications in C# Forms and some in WPF, but I never had any need to learn MVVM. So to keep busy in retirement, I delved into MVVM late in December last year. At first I started using Galasoft's MvvmLight, but when I started to grasp what the MVVM pattern was all about, I decided to start over, coding my own messenger class. With the help of Jon Skeet's book, some articles here on CP, some by Bugnion and some answers on Stackoverflow, I really got stuck into topics like custom events and other delegates.
Well, I had a few misfires, reloads and restarts, but my first project is now complete. I just wonder what I should do next? Should I learn what Prism is all about? Any ideas?

Yes.
I developed with/around Prism for a couple of years. Very interesting stuff; I liked it.

How about writing an article about your journey to enlightenment?

Personally if it is for hobby purposes, I would
a) write an article here about what you have done
b) expand on what you have, produce a sample MVVM application and see what problems you encounter - and write an article about that.
personally I don't like Prism much, or any framework really. I prefer to 'roll my own' and treat it as a pattern rather than a framework.

I agree with you. It was a lot more fun doing everything from scratch instead of taking the easy route and using MvvmLight for example. I found nothing wrong with MvvmLight - it is a good approach if you are limited on development time - which does not apply to me.
However, I did learn a great deal that could be of value to beginners with MVVM. Maybe I should create a demo project for an article here on CP. I do feel a bit guilty for taking so much from others like CP and Stackoverflow, and not really giving anything in return!
