How to bind Close command to a button
The easiest way is to implement ButtonClick event handler and invoke Window.Close() method, but how doing this through a Command binding? Nir I think that in real world scenarios a simple click handler is probably better than over-complicated command-based systems but you can do something like that: using RelayCommand from this article http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/dd419663.aspx public class MyCommands { public static readonly ICommand CloseCommand = new RelayCommand( o => ((Window)o).Close() ); } <Button Content="Close Window" Command="{X:Static local:MyCommands.CloseCommand}"
