WPF How to Dispose ViewModel when the associated UserControl (Not Window) closes?





















   Note:  If your WPF UserControl is hosted in MFC Window, you may want to clean-up the ViewModel that is DataContext of your UserControl.     Since Unloaded event is not called reliably for the UserControl when the hosting MFC Window closes, there is a need for another solution.     XAML:    < UserControl  x : Class = "Views.MyUserControl"                xmlns = "http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"                xmlns : x = "http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"                xmlns : mc = "http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"                 xmlns : d = "http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"                 mc : Ignorable = "d"                 d : DesignHeight = "300"  d : DesignWidth = "300" >       < Grid >                     </ Grid >  </ UserControl >    Code Behind:  using  System; using  ViewModels;   name
