We use a lot of open source libraries and components in our daily business. Open source libraries provide us a big advantage regarding time to market with our products.

Sourceforge, codeplex and google code (to name a few) are often the first pages we visit to...

A Model Command encapsulates a single action hat is execute against the model. This can be a query to request data, an action that modifies data, communication with a completely different part of the system or anything else your application has to do on the model.
