I have been using this branch as a basis for my IHost usage but struggled when it came to multi views using the MainWindowViewModel which needs to change the Views its currently presenting on the main window, since its 1 window, multi pages (buttons go to different views - I have one main view, but a settings view) - I only want the 1 window.

I came across some issues understanding how that works with the ViewLocator and the DI registration of MainWindowViewModel only being bound to one View.

Not sure if something would need to change a bit with the DI to make a foundation for Windows extensions generic host with a "starting example" for navigation.

@pjmagee typically you would have two ViewModels for two views where each VM is represented by a DataTemplate. Then if you swap DataContext of your Window, you should be navigated automatically. Check also the NavigationSample (okay it's without DI but concept should be similar)

Wow what awesome timing for this PR! I just started looking into Avalonia and this was my first question :) Thanks for working on this. @maxkatz6 apart from the "in any case" items, is there anything you consider missing from the sample?
