WPF Prism how to have duplicate views inside a region

prism, wpf

Solution

Try this.

IRegion TabRegion =  manager.Regions["TabRegion"];

tabRegion.Add(convDetailsView1);
tabRegion.Add(convDetailsView2);

Problem

I'm currently working with the Tab control and have created a region so it will become my host. what I'm trying to do is add the same view to a region twice.. you may ask why? and its because the application is going a simple chat app - there will many instances of the view but each will have different information. my code so far;; ``` IConversationDetailsPresentationModel convDetailsView1 = this.Container.Resolve<IConversationDetailsPresentationModel>(); IRegionManager manager = this.Container.Resolve<IRegionManager>(); manager.RegisterViewWithRegion("TabRegion", () => convDetailsView1); IConversationDetailsPresentationModel convDetailsView2 = this.Container.Resolve<IConversationDetailsPresentationModel>(); manager.RegisterViewWithRegion("TabRegion", () => convDetailsView2); ``` And my views are registered with unity like so;; ``` this.Container.RegisterType<IConversationDetailsPresentationModel, ConversationDetailsPresentationModel>( new TransientLifetimeManager()); this.Container.RegisterType<IConversationDetailsView, ConversationDetailsView>( new TransientLifetimeManager()); ``` also, my XAML ``` <TabControl TabStripPlacement="Left" Width="Auto" Height="Auto" cal:RegionManager.RegionName="TabRegion" Name="TabRegion" SelectedItem="{Binding SelectedTab}"> <TabControl.ContentTemplate> <DataTemplate> <ContentControl cal:RegionManager.RegionName="TabContentRegion"> </ContentControl> </DataTemplate> </TabControl.ContentTemplate> </TabControl> ``` Edit : my actual question is this.. Is it possible to have duplicate views inside a region? When I try it currently I get an exception about it already being registered.. what I really need is to bypass this or possible create a region that will allow it. thanks for any help!! cheers. ste.
