Hello i'm consfused using the Messenger class of MVVM Light.

I have a ProductsViewModel that can get initialized a number of times.

In the constructor of ProductsViewModel I have this code:

Messenger.Default.Register(this, n => MessageBox.Show(n.Test));

The problem is, if I have 2 instances of ProductsViewModel, then Messenger gets registered twice.

Is is bad to Register the Messenger in a constructor?

Hope this makes sense!
