    <p>I think it is a decent idea.</p> <p>It has the advantage that the ViewModel that wants to show another window doesn't have to use any WPF specific code or even know the view. It only needs to know the ViewModel it wants to show the window for. This is very similar to <a href="http://caliburnmicro.codeplex.com" rel="nofollow">Caliburn.Micros</a> <code>IWindowManager</code>.</p> <p>The thing I don't like about this solution is the static nature of the class. This makes unit testing hard(er). If you are using dependency injection, you could create an interface and an implementation of that interface that is similar to your static class. You could then create an instance of that class in your composition root, bind the ViewModel types to the lambda View factories and register that instance with your DI container. Every ViewModel that wants to show another window now has a dependency on that interface which makes it easily mockable in unit tests.</p> <p>Something like this:</p> <pre><code>interface IWindowManager { void Show(Type type); void Show&lt;T&gt;(); void ShowDialog(Type type); void ShowDialog&lt;T&gt;(); } class WindowManager : IWindowManager { // Implementation of the four methods from the interface plus: private Dictionary&lt;Type, Func&lt;Window&gt;&gt; collection = new Dictionary&lt;Type, Func&lt;Window&gt;&gt;(); public void Bind(Func&lt;Window&gt; ctor, Type type) { ... } } </code></pre> <p>Having the <code>Bind</code> method only on the concrete implementation <code>WindowManager</code> has the benefit that consumers of <code>IWindowManager</code> can't change the registration.</p>

    1. COThank you for the feedback. I'll avoid the static helper and inject the instance throught the ctor or a property.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
