Resource Dictionary and Content control

Question

Hi All

What is the difference between resource dictionary and content control..

I want to know if i am creating a xaml using resource dictionary and a presentation model which should link to that xaml...i guess if we are creating xaml using resource dictionary we have to register the presentation model

But if we are creating xaml using content control..is it needed.

pls clarify..your help is appreciated

Answer 1

No, you dont have to if you are using Content control.

You just have to write in resource file somethink like this:

<Window.Resources>

<DataTemplate DataType="{x:Type vm:MyViewModel}">
            <vw:MyUserControl />
 </DataTemplate>   

</Window.Resources>

use it as:

<ContentControl Content="{Binding ViewModelPath}" />
