The Microsoft Patterns & Practices Team created the Prism CodePlex Project.
Prism is a set of assets for developing Composite WPF applications. Prism includes a reference implementation, reusable library code and pattern guidance.
Prism addresses the challenges around building complex enterprise WPF applications. As the complexity increases and the teams grow, the application becomes increasingly difficult to maintain. Using "Prism" enables designing a composite application that is composed of many discrete, loosely coupled modules. These modules can be developed, tested and deployed by separate teams.
It provides the following benefits:
- Provides complete support for WPF
- Dynamically composes user interface components
- Application modules are developed, tested and deployed by separate teams
- Allows incremental adoption
- Provides an integrated user experience
