Lately I have successfully implemented a desktop application using WPF technology with MVVM achtitecture and Prism. I am very happy with how the entire, quite large project emerged, and how it is easy to maintain the entire application now. No questions about the MVVM, I am already sold on that one, but how about the Prism, would you consider that a good choice when it comes to implementing the MVVM pattern? I am quite happy with the product, but I was wondering what is your opinion on it?
Short answer: No.
Longer answer: Prism is a Composite Application library, which provides features for creating composable applications, including MVVM patterns.
However, in my opinion, MVVM can be achieved using simpler frameworks like MVVMLight and Caliburn.Micro. If you don't need the extra features that Prism provides then I wouldn't use it. Extra functionality is just more code that can break, if you're not using it.
Is Prism a good product? Yes.

What disadvantages could I have using OpenGL for GUI design in a desktop application? [closed]

I'm working on a project and planning to use a drawing library(OpenGL) for the GUI. Is this frowned upon or considered bad practice?
I googled a bit about the topic and found only discussions about GUI libraries, and no information on whether using a drawing library for the GUI is bad or not.
By the looks of it, you would be "re-inventing the wheel"

(Note: Please do not mark this question as duplicate. This question is based on specific features of Silverlight)
I am planning to learn Silverlight. I have 4 years of .Net experience including C#, WCF, ASP.NET.
Which is the best book that covers the following topics and easy to learn and deep?
1) Silverlight architecture and WCF
2) Dependency Properties
3) Patterns like PRISM
4) XAML coding
5) Silverlight controls
6) RIA , MVVM
Note: If someone ask me which is my favorite book for C#, I would say it is “C# in Depth” by John Skeet. I am looking for a Silverlight book having qualities similar to the above mentioned book.
Thanks

Silverlight 4 in Action cover almost topics you want to learn even it's not much deep but it's a good place to start.
I learnt c# from a book then went on to use Silverlight 4 for Dummies which is actually a really good and comprehensive guide. I can't remember if it had all the stuff mentioned above but it did have a large amount of it and about 2 months on after learning it I know my way around silverlight fairly well.

I am begginer in silverlight. Anyone suggest me the quicker way to learn silverlight or recommend any book or any other study material.
The official MS site has several good tutorials. You'll also want a copy of Expression Blend, and don't forget about the SDK.

Are you joking? I mean, IN DETAIL that's a lot too much.
