Northwind requirements


Northwind is a sample database released by Microsoft that contains the sales data for a fictitious company called Northwind Traders, which imports and exports specialty foods from around the world. We will be building an application based on the Northwind database that will support:

  • Selecting a customer from a list of current customers, and viewing the selected customer's details and order history with support for editing the customer's details

  • Selecting an order by ID and viewing the order details including the company's information, sales contact and an invoice summary (products purchased, quantities, prices, and so on)

  • Ability to create a new order

This is far from a complete application, but is complex enough to allow us to demonstrate all the tools and techniques that would be needed to create a full LOB application using MVVM.

The UI of this application is shown in the following screenshot:
