This class contains static references to all the view models in the application and provides an entry point for the bindings.
Use the mvvmlocatorproperty snippet to add ViewModels to this locator.
In Silverlight and WPF, place the ViewModelLocatorTemplate in the App.xaml resources:
<Application.Resources> <vm:ViewModelLocatorTemplate xmlns:vm="clr-namespace:WindMobile_WP7.ViewModel" x:Key="Locator" /> </Application.Resources> Then use:
DataContext="{Binding Source={StaticResource Locator}, Path=ViewModelName}" You can also use Blend to do all this with the tool's support.
See http://www.galasoft.ch/mvvm/getstarted
In *WPF only* (and if databinding in Blend is not relevant), you can delete the Main property and bind to the ViewModelNameStatic property instead:
xmlns:vm="clr-namespace:WindMobile_WP7.ViewModel" DataContext="{Binding Source={x:Static vm:ViewModelLocatorTemplate.ViewModelNameStatic}}"
