Multiple instances of a Viewmodel
Im very new to the WPF and MVVM (this is my 1st project in WPF). The project I'm working on is supposed to accept some search criteria, and display the results in the grid. To construct the query I'm using Dynamic LINQ queries. I seem to have issues managing instances of my ProjectSearchViewModel which corresponds to the view that's responsible for collecting the search criteria and executing the query. One instance is created when I create MainWindowViewModel. This creates all other viewmodel instances. This is what I expect. But when time comes to Show the MainWindow, I get another ProjectSearchViewModel, I guess from the binding.
The general idea is this:
The search criteria are filled in the ProjectSearchView.
When Load Command is pressed, I send SearchResultMessage using Reactive Extensions method.
The message is picked up by MainWindowViewModel
MainWindowViewModel is querying the ProjectSearchViewModel.SearchResult and assigning the IObservable List to AllProjectsViewModel.AllProjects which is bound to a datagrid to show the results (AllProjectView is responsible to show the grid with resulting projects list)
The problem is that the parameter filling and sending of the SearchResultMessage happens in one instance of ProjectSearchViewModel and the actual querying of SearchResult from MainWindowViewModel happens in another instance, where all the search criteria are empty.
I guess I have no choice but to post my code: Here it the abridged version of it, omitting some iDisposable plumbing and such. For my model I use Entity Framework 4.
As I mentioned, I'm a total newbie so If anyone sees any blatant disregard for common sense, please set me straight.

everytime you create a ProjectSearchView usercontrol, you also create a ProjectSearchViewModel too. you should remove the following from your usercontrl xaml.
<Grid.DataContext>
<vm:ProjectSearchViewModel />
</Grid.DataContext>
because of your datatemplate you do not need to set the datacontext for ProjectSearchView, it already has the right datacontext.
