I wrote a wpf application that should load view dynamically, depends on condition.The XAML looks like:

<Window x:Class="Backup.MainWindow"
        xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
        xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
        xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
        xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
        xmlns:ignore="http://www.ignore.com"
        xmlns:views="clr-namespace:Backup.Views"
        xmlns:vm="clr-namespace:Backup.ViewModel"
        mc:Ignorable="d ignore"
        Height="300"
        Width="300"
        Title="Backup V1.0"
        WindowStartupLocation="CenterScreen"
        ResizeMode="NoResize"
        WindowStyle="None"
        DataContext="{Binding Main, Source={StaticResource Locator}}">

    <Window.Resources>
        <DataTemplate DataType="{x:Type vm:DeniedViewModel}">
            <views:DeniedView />
        </DataTemplate>

        <DataTemplate DataType="{x:Type vm:CopyViewModel}">
            <views:CopyView />
        </DataTemplate>

    </Window.Resources>

    <Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot">
        <Grid.RowDefinitions>
            <RowDefinition Height="*" />
        </Grid.RowDefinitions>
        <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
            <ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
        </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
        <ContentControl Content="{Binding CurrentVm}" Grid.Column="0" Grid.Row="0" />
    </Grid>
</Window>

and the view model

        /// <summary>

        public MainViewModel(IPermissionService permission, IPersistence persistence)
        {

            if (_GetOSInfo() != "7")
            {
                Application.Current.Shutdown();
                return;

            _locator = (ViewModelLocator) Application.Current.TryFindResource("Locator");

            CurrentVm = _locator.DeniedVm;


            //Validate if the user is in ad group
            //_persistence.QueryGroups((groups, err) =>

        public ViewModelBase CurrentVm

            }
        }

        private string _GetOSInfo()

            //Get Operating system information.
            var os = Environment.OSVersion;
            //Get version information about the os.
            var vs = os.Version;

            //Variable to hold our return value
            var operatingSystem = "";

            if (os.Platform == PlatformID.Win32Windows)
            {
                //This is a pre-NT version of Windows
                switch (vs.Minor)
                {
                    case 0:
                        operatingSystem = "95";
                        break;
                    case 10:
                        if (vs.Revision.ToString() == "2222A")
                            operatingSystem = "98SE";
                        else

                        break;
                    default:
                        break;
                }
            }
            else if (os.Platform == PlatformID.Win32NT)
            {
                switch (vs.Major)
                {
                    case 3:
                        operatingSystem = "NT 3.51";
                        break;
                    case 4:
                        operatingSystem = "NT 4.0";
                        break;
                    case 5:
                        if (vs.Minor == 0)
                            operatingSystem = "2000";
                        else
                            operatingSystem = "XP";
                        break;
                    case 6:
                        if (vs.Minor == 0)
                            operatingSystem = "Vista";
                        else
                            operatingSystem = "7";
                        break;
                    default:
                        break;
                }
            }
            return operatingSystem;
        }
    }
} 

When I executed the application on my computer, everything works fine, but on other computer it shows only blank wpf surface.
I suspect, that the view is not loading correctly, maybe contentcontrol does not load the view. What am I doing wrong?

Update

I analysed wpf with snoop following error occurs:

System.Windows.Data Error: 17 : Cannot get 'Main' value (type 'MainViewModel') from '' (type 'ViewModelLocator'). BindingExpression:Path=Main; DataItem='ViewModelLocator' (HashCode=39201736); target element is 'MainWindow' (Name=''); target property is 'DataContext' (type 'Object') TargetInvocationException:'System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException

What should I do?

  • Swallowing exceptions? If you have access to this other machine, throw Snoop on it. Browse the visual tree and look at the binding. It'll tell you what the issue is. –  Jul 15 '15 at 14:38
  • I think the DataContext is not set proper. please check this DataContext="{Binding Main, Source={StaticResource Locator}}" . – Abin Jul 15 '15 at 20:08
  • @AbinMathew how to bind datacontext then correctly – softshipper Jul 16 '15 at 05:31
  • Check this link: the error in the edit says that its related to DataContext:-http://stackoverflow.com/questions/23713898/setting-datacontext-in-xaml-in-wpf – Abin Jul 16 '15 at 13:18
  • You need a property called Main in your ViewModelLocator – D.Rosado Jul 16 '15 at 13:46
