How to have multiple view linked to the same viewmodel

[Lethargie1]

I have a decently complex model, that need translating into a proper viewmodel. Maping array of numbers to rgb colors, populating attributes that makes sense for the viewmodel but not the model. Theres different view of that viewmodel that I would like to do, whats the proper way?

for example, I want to do a listbox displaying a simple view of the object, and on the side a detailed view of the selected one. The master/detail sample only show simple items that need no viewmodel in the listbox and I havent found another place where different view are linked to a viewmodel.

I'd probably write that VM as an object which inherits from PropertyChangedBase, then write two VM's (one for the master, one for the detail) which both expose this VM as a property. Those master/detail views can bind through into this shared VM as needed. This also lets you have detail-specific and master-specific properties.

There's no out-of-the-box support for multiple views per VM, simply because the built-in view location logic can't support it. If you want to write your own view-location logic, implement your own IViewManager (there's an example of this in the samples folder).
