Documentation Code is Non-Functional

[DevKnightlie]

I'm trying to get a basic implementation of Dock up and running and nothing is working. I want to use the ItemsSource approach which matches how the rest of my code is built, but the code in the documentation here is incorrect, and throws at runtime:
Unable to cast object of type 'Dock.Model.Avalonia.Controls.RootDock' to type 'DockQuickStart.MainWindowViewModel'

I have no idea what it's trying to do here and the documentation isn't explaining anything. I also can't fund any samples which use my approach. Are there any other demos I can refer to?

Please check samples first, documentation is not able to cover each detail. If something does not work for you provide sample repro or code that does not work or full repro project, otherwise its not possible to help.

The code that does not work is in the link I provided. I'll take another look at the samples and see if anything works.

@wieslawsoltes keep running into the same issue after having gone through the quickstart a couple of times over and over again. Repro here: https://github.com/corstian/dock-rootdock-issue-reproduction

Please check samples, they are functional solutions.

Perhaps you could update the docs to refer to the samples rather than point at known out of date documentation?

Is the first thing you see but contains a number of errors, that have wasted hours of time.

One simple example:

public MainWindow()
{
    InitializeComponent();
    var layout = _factory.CreateLayout();
    _factory.InitLayout(layout);
    Dock.Layout = layout;
}

Dock.Layout is not exposed and the sample code for mvvm is not setup like this.
