I usually use a ContentControl to display the data, and swap out the ContentTemplate in a trigger based on the property that changes. Here’s an example I have posted on my blog that swaps a template based on a bound property <DataTemplate x:Key=”PersonTemplate” DataType=”{x:Type local:ConsumerViewModel}”> <TextBlock Text=”I’m a Person” /> </DataTemplate> <DataTemplate x:Key=”BusinessTemplate” DataType=”{x:Type local:ConsumerViewModel}”> … Read more
