Why is that when I define a view with data context in this way:

<views:MessageView DataContext="{x:Type presenters:MessagePresenter}"/>

What is the syntax to define view/presenter pairs like this in XAML?

    {x:Type} returns the type of MessagePresenter, not an instance of MessagePresenter.

    The following creates an instance of MessagePresenter:

    <views:MessageView>
        <views:MessageView.DataContext>
            <presenters:MessagePresenter/>
        </views:MessageView.DataContext>
    </views:MessageView>
