What is it?

Magellan is a lightweight MVC framework that makes it easy to build WPF navigation applications. It is inspired by the ASP.NET MVC framework, and it should feel familiar to anyone who has worked with ASP.NET MVC.

The main features are:

• Model-View-Controller framework
• Blend behaviors and Commands to make navigation easy
• Transitions between pages
• Action filters for cross-cutting concerns such as authorization and redirection
• Integration with Composite WPF

Applications built using Magellan still make use of common patterns such as MVP and MVVM; Magellan just provides navigation support.
