WPF Caliburn.Micro/mvvm Navigation

Question

I\'m building a project, and one of the biggest problems I\'ve come across until now is navigation.
I\'ve been looking for some time now for examples of caliburn.micro/mvvm

In ShellView you use a content control like this:

ShellViewModel:

public class ShellViewModel : Screen
{
     private object Child;

     public object Child
     {
           get{ return child; }
           set
           {
                if(child == value)
                     return;
                child = value;
                NotifyOfPropertyChange(() => Child);
           }
     }

     public ShellViewModel()
     {
         this.Child = new MainViewModel();
     }

     public void ShowOtherView()
     {
           this.Child = new FooViewModel();
     }
}

So this is a very basic example. But as you see, your ShellView provides a ContentControl, which shows the child view. This ContentControl is bound via View.Model to the Child property from your ShellViewModel.

In ShellView, I used a button to show a different view, but you can also use a menu or something like that.
