Preparation for Prism

　　Prism框架由MS patterns&practices团队开发。下面是Prism的介绍：

　　Prism provides guidance designed to help you more easily design and build rich, flexible, and easy-to-maintain Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) desktop applications and Silverlight Rich Internet Applications (RIAs) and Windows Phone 7 applications. Using design patterns that embody important architectural design principles, such as separation of concerns and loose coupling, Prism helps you to design and build applications using loosely coupled components that can evolve independently but which can be easily and seamlessly integrated into the overall application. These types of applications are known as composite applications.

　　其下载地址：Prism ，可以从这里下载最新的Prism及相关的文档，目前最新版本为4.1。

选择最新的prism4.1（文件不大23.69M）下载后，释放到指定的位置，其中包含的内容如下：

可见，其中大概包含三类文件。

1.类似于Desktop only-Prism Library.bat的批处理文件，用来打开相应的Prism项目。因为我们打开这个bat文件，其内容如下：

@call "PrismLibrary\PrismLibrary_desktop.sln"

我们打开这个项目，可以发现DebugLZQ前一篇博文中的类似的类，DelegateCommand以及NotificationObject如下：

 这两个类DelegeteCommand和NotificationObject在Prism中的实现如下：

    /// The constructor deliberately prevent the use of value types.

通过这些bat文件，我们可以打开相应的解决方案，查看Prism的源码。

2.类似于Prism4.chm类型文件，为Prism的文档。通过这些文件，我们可以查阅Prism的相关文档，譬如我们打开这个文件，定位到第五章可以查阅实施MVVm的相关文档：

 3.注意这个特殊的bat文件：RegisterPrismBinaries.bat，用来注册Prism，和1的打开解决方案有些不同，点解注册：

注册完成后，我们可以在项目中方便的添加Prim引用

 如果不注册的话，在这个.NET这个Page中当然是没有以上几个dll的！

 --------------------

OK,如果我就是不注册的话，这些个dll在哪里呢？在这里（DebugLZQ之前把下载下来的Prism释放到了C:\Program Files\Prism）：

C:\Program Files\Prism\Bin\Desktop

可以通过“浏览”Page添加相关的引用。

--------------------

OK，Prism的准备Completed！
