Hello,

I am just studying the code of Sacha Barbers MVVM framework Chinch and I saw this in the xxxViewModel.cs file:

DataService.FetchAllOrders(CurrentCustomer.CustomerId.DataValue);

DataService is a Static class. Being a junior dev I am only used to Interfaces with Data services. Why is that class static?

Or do you think he made it just for the example?

So is that a good approach?
