WPF DataBinding with MVVM and User Controls

Question

Let\'s say I have a Customer Window showing information about a customer, like Name, address and phone number. On the bottom there is a DataGrid of their orders. Of course

Answer 1

There are many ways to skin a cat. The way I've been doing this is by having my CustomerViewModel have a property of type OrdersViewModel. Then in the constructor (or wherever you are setting the customer) have it set the "OrdersContext" with a new OrdersViewModel passing in the customer.orders.

XAML:

ViewModel:

public CustomerViewModel(Customer customer)
{
    Customer = customer;
    OrdersContext = new OrdersViewModel(customer.Orders);
}
