A few years back, Julian Dominguez from Microsoft pattern and practice team proposed a solution that uses Implicit Data Teamplate for WPF MVVM application development. You can read the details in his blog post “Presentation Model with DataTemplates in CompositeWPF (Prism) Sample“. I was working in Xuenn developing WPF applications for sport betting platform at that time and we introduced Julian’s approach to team. We found both advantages and disadvantages of using this approach (I will share with you all the details soon.) but using “Implicit data template” did help a lot for some scenarios. I’ve been requesting this feature to the team again and again for last a couple of years and I’m really glad that Silverlight team added it in Silverlight 5.
