View To ViewModel Switcher

Easily toggle between a View and a ViewModel, particularly useful for WPF MVVM projects.

Shortcuts

• 'Ctrl + Shift + Alt, V'
• 'Ctrl + Shift + Alt, M'

Placements

Accessible under the 'View' dropdown in the top navigation and within the context menu when right-clicking a C# or XAML file.

Visibility/Enable Conditions

Active file must end with either 'view.xaml' or 'View.xaml' or 'viewmodel.cs' or 'ViewModel.cs'.

How it Works

• Detects the active document and verifies if the filename ends with 'View.xaml' or 'Model.cs'.
• If it's a View or ViewModel, it first checks for any corresponding 'View' or 'ViewModel' files open that match the selected document. If found, it switches to that; otherwise, it searches the entire project for the matching target View/ViewModel.
• Dialog messages are provided in case of any processing issues.
