- 6. ModulesUnit of developmentModules can be developed and tested independently by different teams.Unit of deploymentModules can be loaded on demand, minimizing application start-up time.Modules can be added or changed without re-building the whole application.

- 8. UI CompositionViews from multiple modules are displayed at run time in specific locations within the application's UI.<TabControlRegionManager.RegionName= “MainContentRegion” />Module AModule B<ItemsControlRegionManager.RegionName= “NavigationRegion">
- 9. View Discovery vs. View InjectionViews can be instantiated automatically when region is displayed, or explicitly injected into region.
