WPF data context for design time and run time

Question

I\'m learning WPF, MVVM Light and the ViewModelLocator pattern and running into difficulties with my main window\'s data context.

public class ViewModelLocator
          


        

Answer 1

The last line will work nicely if you remove the comma after d:DesignInstance:

d:DataContext="{d:DesignInstance Type=viewModels:MainViewModel,
IsDesignTimeCreatable=True}">
