I have a WPF application that uses a layered architecture with three conventional layers: User Interface, Business Logic, and Data Layer. Now I have a requirement to split the application into vertical slices by functional areas (e.g. Customer, Product, Order). Meanwhile I would like to keep the horizontal layer separation within each vertical slice.
I am considering to use the PRISM modularity framework to accomplish this. So each functional area (vertical slice) will be represented as a PRISM module. But since my modules have a layered architecture, each module may consist of multiple assemblies.
Based on the PRISM documentation the ModuleCatalog assumes that each module is in one assembly. I am not sure how I can group multiple assemblies as one module. Any ideas if this can be done?
Edit -- I missed to mention that I want to de-couple the layers by not directly referencing the implementing assemblies for the layers. Instead I define the interfaces in an interface project for the respective layer such that only the interface project is referenced by the layer using it. Given this I still need a way to tell a module about the implementing assemblies for its layers.
