Question

A DataTemplateSelector does not respond to PropertyChange notifications, so it doesn't get re-evaluated when your properties change.

The alternative I use is DataTriggers that changes the Template based on a property.

For example, this will draw all TaskModel objects using a ContentControl, and the ContentControl.Template is based on the TaskStatus property of the TaskModel
