Before I begin here is a reference to how I implemented a template selector with Silverlight.

Everything works great. But the solution just doesn't work in blends making things more difficult to visualize overall. Is the correct work flow to just create a UserControl from the contents and embed it inside the Resource Dictionary to make it blendable, or is there a better way to do this?
Either way, I'm asking this question and posting the Template Selector solution at the same time, because I found it useful. Better solutions are very much welcome.
fyi.. sl4,.net4, latest blends.. all the new toys.. using mvvm light(little relevance).
