Xamarin.Forms-MvvmLight

An Mvvm Light template for a Xamarin.Forms solution. The solution includes projects for Android, iOS and Windows Phone.

Project template file for Visual Studio:

If the project template file is all you need, the file is XamarinFormsMvvmLight.zip in the root folder. The files may have to be extracted.

There will be references to the old project name (MvvmLightTemplate) in the generated projects, most notably in MainPage.xaml.cs in the WinPhone project. A quick fix for this is to replace the word MvvmLightTemplate with your project name throughout the solution.
ViewModelLoator:

The ViewModelLocator is a static property in App and can be referred to in code as App.Locator.

Being a static property, it can be referred to from XAML as follows:
```
<Label Text="{Binding Main.AProperty, Source={x:Static local:App.Locator}}"/>
```
local namespace has to be declared with the assembly reference as required by Xamarin:
```
xmlns:local="clr-namespace:MvvmLightTemplate;assembly=MvvmLightTemplate"
```

The exported template still has references to the old project name.
There is no method/event for the application exit event. Separate subscription to events on each platform may be necessary.
