C# WPF Prism ViewModelLocator in different Class Libraries/Projects

Question

is there a way for the Prism ViewModelLocator to autowire the views and viewmodels from different class library beside just the WPF project?

Currently my WPF MainWindow.xaml is in a Views folder in the WPF project and is auto wired to link with MainWindowViewModel in a ViewModels folder. The datacontext is wired and works fine.

My MainWindow view used other views(usercontrols) that's in a class library and the Prism ViewModelLocactor doesnt seem to auto wire the views and viewmodels. Is there a way for this to work? The datacontext is link if I manually inject the viewmodels, but once I comment the code and expect Prism to handle it, the datacontext is not wired.

Yes. Either change the ViewModelLoctor convention to fit your needs, or use the ViewModelLocationProvider.Register method to specify which VM should be used for a view.
