Setting trace settings via config is ignored, but programatically works. 

I'm spending some time evaluating frameworks for my current project, and I'm 
down to choosing between Magellan or nRoute.  I have three questions that 
should sway my decision either way. :)

1) Are you planning to add a feature similar to ASP.Net MVC's Object Templates, 
which recursively nests views based on model type (and/or other factors) (see 
http://bradwilson.typepad.com/blog/2009/10/aspnet-mvc-2-templates-part-3-default
-templates.html).  The closest you have is your Forms feature, but is not 
nearly as powerful.  Admittedly, your Forms is still more than nRoute or any 
other MVC/MVVM framework I could find has.

2) Are you adding support for Windows Phone 7?

3) Do you have plans to add Async ViewModel properties.  I see you already have 
Async Actions, which is close. The new .Net rX framework may actually already 
provide something to handle this, so this *may* not be required of your 
framework.  If so, maybe just provide some integration features.

Thank you!

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. <DataTemplate x:Key="dataTemplateKey">
<Form>
  <Field For="{Binding Path=Property1}"/>
  <!-- public int Property1 {get;set;}-->
</Form>
2. <ItemsControl ItemTemplate="{StaticResource dataTemplateKey}" 
ItemsSource="{Binding Path=ViewModelList}"/> 

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The field should be displayed for the "Property1" for each ViewModel in 
ViewModelList, but the field for the last viewmodel is not displayed (neither 
header nor textbox).
When the value of a Property1 of any other viewmodel is changed, the field is 
displayed.

When the <field><TextBox Text={Binding Path=Property1}"/></field> is filled 
with a value, the textbox is displayed even for the last viewmodel in the 
ViewModelList.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Magellan.dll 2.2.95.0, Vista, VS2010 .NET 4.0

Since this is the only way to communicate, you stated that it wasn't possible 
to use this framework in partial trust mode, because you needed two private 
fields from BindingExpressions.

I found a solution to this problem (FieldInferenceRule):
var sourceItem = typeof(BindingExpression).GetProperty("SourceItem", 
BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance).GetValue(expression, null);

is also public available:
var sourceItem = expression.DataItem;

And
var propertyName = 
(string)typeof(BindingExpression).GetProperty("SourcePropertyName", 
BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance).GetValue(expression, null);

is also public available:
var propertyName = expression.ParentBinding.Path.Path;

I don't know if this will fix the whole XBAP problem, but it might be a better 
way of solving.

Currently progress listener events are fired for most of the MVC lifecycle, but 
I don't think the MVVM cycle is complete. 

Also, could tracing be build on top of the progress system?

If I have 

public ActionResult Foo(Bar bar=null) {}

and do

Navigator.Navigate(new{controller="foo", action = "Foo"});

it won’t resolve unless I provide value for bar.
