Yep, Thanks Martin for your time on that. You have confirmed a lot of my experiences, and perhaps that I'm not mad. So far I have written all my WPF alone without the help of a team to build comprehensive helper libraries of base classes and utilities. I certainly do find myself copying and pasting snippets out of other apps a lot. I also try to separate all the styling XAML from the controls. I have been very unhappy with MVVM as it seems to stretch the capabilities of binding beyond the breaking point as an academic exercise and leads to bizarre quirks and workarounds. I have settled on a simple View-Controller pattern which keeps the code behind quite thin and allows unit testing of the controllers.
I am back to coding WPF today and I will be editing more XAML by hand. Greg
