Karl,
In July of last year, you contacted us @nwoods.com asking about a WPF version of GoDiagram… we have one now, but the email address you left doesn’t seem to work anymore. But you left this blog as your website…
if you still have interest, contact “goxam” at the domain above. thanks…

Karl,
I have seen lots of examples out there on view switching and the Prism Navigation Framework. Each of these examples only illustrates use of views within a single module. Where I am working as a contractor the team has elected to use view switching. They, and I for the most part, are relatively new to PRISM 4, M-V-VM and Unity. In our current implementation the Shell has a Main region and within that region the team is planning to display the views from as many as 15 different modules but only one view at a time. Each of these Modules contains similar functionality but each is different enough to warrant it’s own module and views. The problem I see, or rather the dead elk under the table, is that they are planning to load all of the modules and switch between different views of each of the modules. It seems counter intuitive to me to load all of the modules as each module is intended to handle a different set of logical processing. I believe that the module and its views should be self contained. Wouldn’t it be better to use Dynamic Module loading and constrain the view switching to the module? Thanks for your input. I am just trying to decide how hard to push for this or determine if I am out of line in my thought process.
Seems there is an example of this for Silverlight in the View Switching Navigation Quick Start. I guess I need to pay more attention. We are developing with WPF but I don’t believe that this will be a problem. I’ll start there as there are multiple modules envolved. If you feel that the question is still valid then your response would be greatly appreciated. Otherwise, if I am on the right track then my question may be answered in this quickstart.
Either way thanks for the input on your sight. It has been very valuable to me.

Give this a look: http://karlshifflett.wordpress.com/2011/06/29/boise-prism-unity-wpf-mvvm-code-and-decks/
I used the application instead of slides. The application does view switching using Prism.
