Content Control not visible in DockingManager when using MVVM light framework.

[Zeljko]

Hello all,

I was just reading through the documentation for the DockingManager, and creating an application at the same time. I started from a MVVM Light template.

Once I paste the folllowing code in

<syncfusion:DockingManager x:Name="SyncDockingManager" UseDocumentContainer="True">
<ContentControl syncfusion:DockingManager.Header="Solution Explorer"
                syncfusion:DockingManager.SideInDockedMode="Right"  x:Name="SolutionExplorer"/>
<ContentControl x:Name="ToolBox" syncfusion:DockingManager.Header="Toolbox" syncfusion:DockingManager.State="AutoHidden" />
<ContentControl x:Name="Properties" syncfusion:DockingManager.Header="Properties" syncfusion:DockingManager.State="Float" />
<ContentControl syncfusion:DockingManager.Header="Output"
                syncfusion:DockingManager.SideInDockedMode="Tabbed"
                syncfusion:DockingManager.TargetNameInDockedMode="SolutionExplorer"/>
<ContentControl x:Name="StartPage" syncfusion:DockingManager.Header="Start Page" syncfusion:DockingManager.State="Document"/>
</syncfusion:DockingManager>

The "Start Page" Content Control is not visible, either at design time, or run time. However, if I don't use the MVVM Light template it's visible.

Anybody know what the issue could be?

Thanks.

Hi, mabe it would be possible to build a MVVM Light example, creating the same Application as stated here: https://help.syncfusion.com/wpf/dockingmanager/pattern-and-practices#mvvm, and add it to your documentation? That would help many people out there, I guess. :)
