MVVM Light Toolkit is a C# framework that accelerates building Model-View-ViewModel (MVVM) applications across Xamarin and Windows platforms. It is no longer maintained, with the Microsoft MVVM Toolkit recommended as its successor.
Use cases
- build mvvm apps in xamarin forms
- implement viewmodel pattern in wpf
- simplify mvvm development for uwp apps
- cross-platform mvvm framework for c#
- migrate legacy silverlight or windows phone mvvm code
- learn model-view-viewmodel pattern in .net
When to choose
- maintaining an existing legacy codebase already using MVVM Light
- you need a lightweight, battle-tested MVVM library for older .NET frameworks
When to avoid
- starting a new project - use the Microsoft MVVM Toolkit instead
- you need ongoing updates, bug fixes, or modern .NET support
