Hi,

I need to use a Usercontrol in a view of an MVVM project.
The Usercontrol is not written with MVVM architecture.
The user control could not be re written in MVVM style.
In MVVM project, I need to subscribe an event fired from the user control.
How is it possible?

Kindly provide a solution with an example.

Regards,
Hashim

Solution 1

The solution lies in the
System.Windows.Interactivity namespace.

It allows you to use commands when triggered by events.

Just look for "EventTriggers".
