I’m new to wpf and now I have a problem. I have a model class say Customer and I’ve created a DataTemplate with TargetType property set to Customer. It works good. But I actually want two different templates like one for just displaying the record and another for in-place editing. Is it possible to specify two different templates for same datatype based on some creteria?
And I want to switch this template based on some property on ViewModel like when IsEditmode is True.

Or am I doing it wrong? Should I use styles instead?

    Your approach seems to be perfectly fine.

    You can create a DataTemplateSelector which will allow you to choose a data template based on arbitrary criteria from code behind.

    I often use these to decide which template to use based on a enum-type property.
