How to call a view from a view model using MVVM pattern

JP White

Hello,

I have two view models A and B. On a double click on view A I need to display view B. How can I call a view B from a view Model A using the MVVM pattern.

I have looked around and I couldn't find a clear example that demonstrate this fundamental concept for the MVVM pattern.

Thank you

I think you may need to create an object and invoke it. For better understanding, please go through below links if those help.

Hi Tapan,
Here is what I'm trying to do:
using Microsoft.Practices.Prism.Commands;
using Microsoft.Practices.Prism.Mvvm;
using System.Windows.Input;
namespace Example.ViewModels
{
public class ViewModelA:BindableBase
{
public ICommandShowInfoCommand{get;private set;}
//Need to call viewB
private void OnShowInfo(objectobj)
{
//ToBeImplemented
}
}
}
