Expect soon more MVVM goodness on this blog, and until then – just enjoy the spring!  😀

In all my previous MVVM in Silverlight 4 posts i was avoiding to address one painful aspect of the Silverlight: calling WCF Web Services. And it was not without reason.

Yes we all know how to create a Silverlight enabled WCF Web Service from Visual Studio but things become messy from that point. First question is how to invoke methods of the web service?

Unit testing and mocking internal interfaces with RhinoMocks

In this scenario i need to be able to mock those internal interfaces that the public class is using in order to be able to instantiate it and unit test it.
