    text
    copied!<p>I've got a set of ViewModels that I'm binding to the ItemsSource property of a TabControl. Let's call those ViewModels AViewModel, BViewModel, and CViewModel. Each one of those needs to have a different ItemTemplate (for the header; because they each need to show a different icon) and a different ContentTemplate (because they have very different interaction models).</p> <p>What I'd like is something like this:</p> <p>Defined in Resource.xaml files somewhere:</p> <pre><code>&lt;DataTemplate x:Key="ItemTemplate" DataType="{x:Type AViewModel}"&gt; ... &lt;/DataTemplate&gt; &lt;DataTemplate x:Key="ItemTemplate" DataType="{x:Type BViewModel}"&gt; ... &lt;/DataTemplate&gt; &lt;DataTemplate x:Key="ItemTemplate" DataType="{x:Type CViewModel}"&gt; ... &lt;/DataTemplate&gt; &lt;DataTemplate x:Key="ContentTemplate" DataType="{x:Type AViewModel}"&gt; ... &lt;/DataTemplate&gt; &lt;DataTemplate x:Key="ContentTemplate" DataType="{x:Type BViewModel}"&gt; ... &lt;/DataTemplate&gt; &lt;DataTemplate x:Key="ContentTemplate" DataType="{x:Type CViewModel}"&gt; ... &lt;/DataTemplate&gt; </code></pre> <p>Defined separately:</p> <pre><code>&lt;TabControl ItemTemplate="[ Some way to select "ItemTemplate" based on the type ]" ContentTemplate="[ Some way to select "ContentTemplate" based on the type ]"/&gt; </code></pre> <p>Now, I know that realistically, each time I define a DataTemplate with the same key the system is just going to complain. But, is there something I can do that's similar to this that will let me put a DataTemplate into a TabControl based on a name and a DataType?</p>
