Creating complex WPF UI elements. What to read?

Question

.NET

In our project, we will use complex elements consisting of several nested elements. You also need to fill them with data and use the same elements in different parts of the application.
How to use WPF and MVVM correctly to avoid code duplication, to be able to configure and bind elements in a flexible way? What should be the structure of such an application? You need something like best practices + a good book on WPF (in Russian).
We will be using the Modern UI Framework. Maybe there is some other useful information besides their docks.

Answer 1

1) About "how to use MVVM correctly" - it's not so easy. Everyone uses MVVM in different ways: someone inserts links to UI elements into the code, someone does not accept codehind. In general, you need to look depending on the specific task. You can usually find a lot of materials in blogs, especially regarding the use of all sorts of different MVVM frameworks.
2) I can recommend a book on WPF: Matthew McDonald "WPF: Windows Presentation Foundation in .NET 4.5"
3) I tried to use it somehow (then scored), I did not find more or less detailed documentation. They have sources, you can build on them.

Of the good books, I can also advise Adam Nathan - WPF4 Detailed guide 2011.
