XAML Is EVIL! - Fixing Anti-Patterns To Achieve Dependency Injection

I think WPF is awesome but I have a love-hate relationship with XAML. It's unfortunately mostly hate. While I love that I can easily get a visual layout for my user interfaces, I hate that it feels like I am fighting to get other "best practices" in place. Dependency injection is one of those. It's a pain in the butt. In this video, I'll walk through fixing a service locator pattern from a previous example. We'll see how we can get value converters to work with dependency injection if we forget about XAML altogether.
