Dynamic Model

This library contains (for now at least) a single class - NotificationModel. It is meant to provide a way for a user interface that supports IDataErrorInfo and INotifyPropertyChanged to bind to and interact with POCO objects.

Given the following simple class:

public class Person
{
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public int Age { get; set; }
    public DateTime BirthDate { get; set; }
}

We can wrap it in a NotificationModel object and expose it in a ViewModel:

private NotificationModel<Person> model;
public dynamic Model
{
    get
    {
        return model ?? (model = new NotificationModel<Person>(new Person { Name = "Ted", Age = 25, BirthDate = new DateTime(1980, 12, 1) }));
    }
}

And then bind to it in a WPF view:

<Label Content="Name:"/>
<TextBox Text="{Binding Model.Name, ValidatesOnDataErrors=True}" Grid.Column="1"/>

<Label Content="Age:" Grid.Row="1"/>
<TextBox Text="{Binding Model.Age, ValidatesOnDataErrors=True}" Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="1"/>

<Label Content="Birth Date:" Grid.Row="2"/>
<TextBox Text="{Binding Model.BirthDate, ValidatesOnDataErrors=True}" Grid.Row="2" Grid.Column="1"/>
