Caliburn Micro for Windows Phone 8 not working

Question

I am trying to learn Caliburn micro to use in Windows Phone 8 app development. But I am facing problem as it only works for main view model and is not able to connect any other view model to its view. Here is the code for other page than main page. Please suggest a solution to this problem. Thanks in advance

Page1ViewModel

using System.Windows;

Answer 1

CalibMicro.Page1 should be CalibMicro.Page1View since your viewmodel is named Page1ViewModel

Answer 2

Try to inherit Screen instead of PropertyChangedBase

Page1ViewModel:Screen
