I have a container view that looks something like this.
<UserControl x:Class="Views.ContainerView">
<UserControl.Resources>
<ResourceDictionary>
<DataTemplate DataType="{x:Type viewmodels:AViewModel}">
<views:MyView />
</DataTemplate>
<DataTemplate DataType="{x:Type viewmodels:BViewModel}">
<views:MyView />
</DataTemplate>
<DataTemplate DataType="{x:Type viewmodels:CViewModel}">
<views:MyView />
</DataTemplate>
<DataTemplate DataType="{x:Type viewmodels:DViewModel}">
<views:MyView />
</DataTemplate>
</ResourceDictionary>
</UserControl.Resources>
<Grid>
<ListBox ItemsSource="{Binding Path=AvailableViewModels}"
SelectedItem="{Binding Path=CurrentViewModel}"
IsSynchronizedWithCurrentItem="True" />
<ContentControl Content="{Binding Path=CurrentViewModel}" />
</Grid>
</UserControl>
All my viewmodels inherit BaseViewModel, so I turned my eyes on this
<UserControl x:Class="Views.ContainerView">
<UserControl.Resources>
<ResourceDictionary>
<DataTemplate DataType="{x:Type viewmodels:BaseViewModel}">
<views:MyView />
</DataTemplate>
</ResourceDictionary>
</UserControl.Resources>
<StackPanel>
<ListBox ItemsSource="{Binding Path=AvailableViewModels}"
SelectedItem="{Binding Path=CurrentViewModel}"
IsSynchronizedWithCurrentItem="True" />
<ContentControl Content="{Binding Path=CurrentViewModel}" />
</StackPanel>
</UserControl>
thinking that this will create an instance of only one MyView and just rebuild the viewmodel when ListBox.SelectedItem changes. Do I understand this behavior correctly? Is this the preferred practice? How can I verify that I will not mix up memory when switching between views?
