New Post: AvalonDock and MVVM CodeProject not working with latest AvalonDock

To answer my own question I later realized that I didn't need AvalonDockHost as later versions of AvalonDock allows for MVVM by use of the AnchorableSource, DocumentSource and ActiveContent properties as described in the AvalonDock.MVVMTestApp.

<avalonDock:DockingManager x:Name="dockManager" 
                               AnchorablesSource="{Binding Tools}" 
                               DocumentsSource="{Binding Files}"
                               ActiveContent="{Binding ActiveDocument, Mode=TwoWay, Converter={StaticResource ActiveDocumentConverter}}"
                               Grid.Row="1">

I haven't managed to get everything working as I'd like yet as my layout is quite different from the VS enviroment that AvalonDock is trying to recreate. But I must say I think this is a great tool!
