I am having a hard time getting multiple views to work against 1 viewmodel. I have read Naming Convention for Multi-View Support without getting much out of it, and have tried countless things in the process.
Just to take a simple example. Say I have a ViewModel for People residing in ShellViewModel, which basically contains a list of Person-objects. I want to display them in two different ways in my application.
What is the correct way to name the Views in this case, and how do I display both views in ShellView?
Anders is correct, there are a number of default conventions for Caliburn.Micro, one of them will locate and display <RootNS>.Views.[<ChildNS>].<ViewTypeName> for <RootNS>.ViewModels.[<ChildNS>].<ViewModelTypeName>.
In your case, for a single View (assuming the classes reside in namespaces derived from the folders):
<RootNS>.Views.PeopleView would by located and displayed for <RootNS>.ViewModels.PeopleViewModel.
For multiple views over the same viewmodel, the convention is that views of format <EntityName>.<Context> are displayed for viewmodels of format <EntityName>[<ViewSuffix>]ViewModel:
From your example, you could create a new folder named People, and inside it, create your views named Grid and List.
Your namespaces become <RootNS>.Views.People.Grid and <RootNS>.Views.People.List and, should then be located and displayed for <RootNS>.ViewModels.PeopleViewModel.
You typically then display the Views in something like a ContentControl, choosing the View you want to display by setting the cal:View.Context property. You'll either hard code the name, if the context isn't going to change in that particular control, or bind to a property which describes what state the ViewModel should be displayed as.
e.g.
<ContentControl cal:View.Model="{Binding Path=ActiveItem}"
cal:View.Context="List" />
See the Multiple Views over the Same ViewModel section.
As far as I can tell from the documentation you are referring to, you should not use View in your view name. Name your view classes People.Grid and People.List instead.
