Firing a double click event from a WPF ListView item using MVVM

by

Please, code behind is not a bad thing at all. Unfortunately, quite a lot people in the WPF community got this wrong.

MVVM is not a pattern to eliminate the code behind. It is to separate the view part (appearance, animations, etc.) from the logic part (workflow). Furthermore, you are able to unit test the logic part.

I know enough scenarios where you have to write code behind because data binding is not a solution to everything. In your scenario I would handle the DoubleClick event in the code behind file and delegate this call to the ViewModel.

Sample applications that use code behind and still fulfill the MVVM separation can be found here:

Win Application Framework (WAF) – https://github.com/jbe2277/waf
