The BindableBase class helps implement the MVVM pattern by implementing INotifyPropertyChanged on a base class which should be inherited by classes in your ViewModel

• BindableBase (VB)
• BindableBase (C#)

The RelayCommand class helps implement the MVVM pattern by exposing methods on your ViewModel as Properties to which your View can Bind

• RelayCommand (VB)
• RelayCommand (C#)

The UserSettingsBase class provides base functionality that allows you to create persistent user settings with regular Property Syntax.

• UserSettingsBase (VB)
• UserSettingsBase (CS)

The SettingsHelper class takes care of the plumbing to link the Settings Charm Panel with your own User Controls.

NOTE: As of Windows 8.1, winRT released a native SettingsFlyout so the following code is primarily for historical purposes.

• Settings Helper (VB)
• Settings Helper (CS)

You can download the MVVM template in the Visual Studio Extensions Gallery
