mvvm

Hi all

I have written a MVVM prototype as a learning exercise and I am struggling to understand how I can communicate between views.Let me explain

I have a treeview on the left (leftSideView)

ListView on the right (rightSideView)

MainWindow (includes the 2 views mentioned above and a splitter)

What I have implemented does not work and I would like you if you can point out where I am going wrong or if there is a better way of doing it. you can download the quick prototype from here

For sure I am doing something wrong with the bindind. Also it would be nice to learn how you do it. EG ListBox on left (one view) ListView On the right (another view) how u communicate between the two.

Thanks a lot of any suggestions
