How to Pass data from one UserControl1 to UserControl2 from a button in UserControl1 WPF MVVM
Question
I recently started studying about User Controls. I have a Main Window which contains this 2 User Controls. UserControl1 is a form to get the data, and when the submit button is clicked in UserControl1, the UserControl2 will be visible viewing the data send from the UserControl1.
Here is my MainWindow xaml (HomeCareMain.xaml)
<Window x:Class="PatientRecordMVVM.Views.HomeCareMain"

</UserControl>
This is the Button Command of the UserControl1 in its ViewModel
#region Handlers : Commands
private void OnPreviewCommandExecute()
{
PatientRecordDetailsModel getPatientDetails = PopulatePatientDetails();
}
I didn't put the whole code inside the ViewModel since it's too long.
PatientRecordDetailsModel is the model object that will be sent to the UserControl2.
Inside the UserControl2 ViewModel constructor it binds the data with the userControl View.
class PrintPreviewViewModel
{
#region Fields
private IWindowService m_windowService;
private PatientRecordDetailsModel patient;
#endregion
#region Constructors
public PrintPreviewViewModel(PatientRecordDetailsModel patient)
{
this.patient = patient;
PatientID = patient.PatientId;
PatientRegisteredDate = patient.PatientRegisteredDate;
PatientName = patient.PatientName;
PatientAddress = patient.PatientAddress;
PatientGender = patient.PatientGender;
PatientDateOfBirth = patient.PatientDateOfBirth.ToShortDateString();
PatientAge = patient.PatientAge;
PatientImageSource = patient.PatientImageSource;
PatientDepartment = patient.PatientDepartment;
PatientWard = patient.PatientWard;
PatientDotorcInCharge = patient.PatientDoctorInCharge;
m_windowService = new WindowService();
}
}
Inside the HomeCareMain.xaml.cs file I defined a method called PrintPreviewButtonClicked() to bind the data to the UserControl2's DataContext and to Visible it.
public partial class HomeCareMain : Window
{
public HomeCareMain()
{
InitializeComponent();
this.DataContext = new HomeCareMainViewModel();
PatientRecordDetailsViewModel patientRecordDetailsViewModel = new PatientRecordDetailsViewModel();
AddPatient.DataContext = patientRecordDetailsViewModel;
AddPatient.Visibility = Visibility.Hidden;
PrintPreview.Visibility = Visibility.Hidden;
}
public void PrintPreviewButtonClicked(PatientRecordDetailsModel patient)
{
PrintPreview.DataContext = new PrintPreviewViewModel(patient);
PrintPreview.Visibility = Visibility.Visible;
}
}
The problem is I want to send the PatientRecordDetailsModel object to the HomeCareMain.xaml.cs without violating MVVM architecture.
Or is there an alternative way of doing this.
I have used separate viewModels for user controls and the main window since they have their own responsibilities to perform.
I really hope you could help me with this.

You should either bind to the same view model from both UserControls , or use an event aggregator or messenger to send an event or a message from one component to another in a loosely coupled way as explained in this blog post.
If you don't use a framework, you'll have to implement the event aggregator yourself.
