@AmyBlankenship: Are you suggesting that view models shouldn't create other view models? That's a tough pill to swallow. I can understand saying that view models shouldn't use new to create other view models, but think of something as simple as an MDI application where clicking on a "new document" button or menu will add a new tab or open a new window. The shell/conductor must be able to create new instances of something, even if it's hidden behind one or a few layers of indirection.

| Nov 4, 2013 at 18:52 | comment | added | Aaronaught | @AmyBlankenship: View Models shouldn't have to (or even necessarily be able to) create themselves, but inevitably will sometimes be responsible for creating other view models. An IoC container with automatic-factory support is a huge help here. | |

| Nov 4, 2013 at 18:29 | comment | added | Amy Blankenship | I think the "right" way to do it is to create a separate layer that calls the services and does whatever casting is necessary to create the ViewModel. Your ViewModels should not be responsible for creating themselves. | |
