I want to be able to switch all content in a "frame" and still be able to use the Visual Studio designer to sett up the "pages" but i dont know how. I want to learn the correct way now, and not "getting it to work" on my own hand :P

This content switching will be part of a productionsupport window wich will have different stages depending on progress.

Thanks for any help here :=)

Right now cannot see the example because it is filterd. If you want to see the design when you are designing, what I would do is create UserControls with the content, and just insert the UserControl. You can use a ValueConverter that will insert the right View into a content control based on the ViewModel that is the DataContext.

Note that you can also use Prism, but the learning curve for doing Regions in Prism is a little steep.

Hopefully that is clear enough, and the answer to the right question.
