Abstract DomainCollectionView (Entity Framework) code into its own service (MVVM Silverlight4)

I've got a VM class below that's being used to wire up a view to my ADO.NET Entity Data Model, utilizing a P_BUDGET class. This works fine, gets my data, makes everything pretty. I have about 15-20 pages that are all going to be based on the same structure as this, and the code is going开发者_StackOverflow社区 to be virtually identical except for the EntityType (P_BUDGET, P_ACCOUNT, P_CIRCUIT, etc etc). I feel like there should be a way to abstract this out, but I tried, and failed miserably! I also feel like I should be able to use one view, one viewmodel, and just swap out the entities binding to the GV... I just haven't been able to find a way to variablize the type, which permeates the entire viewmodel.

Appreciate your help,

Scott

Try something like this. This is not tested (obviously), not even complied. This also assumes that the EntityTypes (P_BUDGET, P_ACCOUNT, P_CIRCUIT etc.) are not POCOs.

public class TestViewModel<TEntity> : ViewModelBase

    private readonly ODADomainContext _context = new ODADomainContext();

        this._source = new EntityList<TEntity>(this._context.GetEntitySet<TEntity>);

             this.OnLoadSampleEntitiesCompleted);
