Your respnoce was simply a "You shouldn't do that." Nothing more nothing less.
No explanation other than the claim of over engineering.

So, how are you going to handle a 3rd party controlled model? Or an object that
you control that is used elsewhere and has embedded objects of which are not
INOC?
You make the assumption that the developer controls all aspects. In
reality most patterns (Including MVVM) are created because we can not control
all components. For the few, hey great. Code how you want. For the rest of the
world we follow the patterns for easy transition, upgrades, extensions, testing
etc. etc. etc

I doubt you have actually implimented a large scale MVVM project. The poster
asked what is the common way to deal with that scenerio (you may want to go back
and look... cause again you did not answer his question. You said he is over
engineering).

You stating it is an abuse of technology is like stating OOP should not be used
in simple apps. If you don't understand that, then it is likely you really don't
understand what DI is.

First off, your claim here is insane. Do you really think Gates or Balmer
invented those platforms???
Secondly they use them only in 'AUTO GENERATED
CODE'. The purpose is quite obvious (well atleast to most I guess). If I have
some auto generated code that resides in the same file as that which the
developer is modifying I have a high risk of the developer modifying code that
will be overritten when 'AUTO GENERATED' again. Or it is possible the developer
simple breaks the logic because they do not fully understand the logic flow or
meaning of the code. This was why partial classes were created and this is WHEN
they should be used. Not because you want to EXTEND a class. In fact, there is a
thing called Extensions[^].
In any other case you should be refactoring and
making new objects.

I did not vote on any of your 'Partial Class' posts. I will inform you I voted
for you comment on IValueConvertor

In MVVM, IValueConverter and IMultiValueConverter

are very rarely used because the VM does that work.

 
That is because that statement is completely false.
Maybe in your
applications you have programmed this way, but a small search on google will
show you they deffinately have their place.
