Building ViewModels based on nested Model Entities in WPF and MVVM Pattern

Question

I have a problem understanding how to build view models based on the following models

(I simplified the models to be clearer)

public class Hit
{
   publi

One solution I've been considering, although I'm not sure if it would work perfectly in practice, is to use converters to create a viewmodel around your model.

So in your case, you could bind Tracks directly to (as an example) a listbox, with a converter that creates a new TrackViewModel from the Track. All your control would ever see would be a TrackViewModel object, and all your models will ever see is other models.

I'm not sure about the dynamic updating of this idea though, I've not tried it out yet.
