In the MVVM pattern for WPF, handling dialogs is one of the more complex operations. As your view model does not know anything about the view, dialog communication can be interesting. I can expose an ICommand that when the view invokes it, a dialog can appear.
Does anyone know of a good way to handle results from dialogs? I am speaking about windows dialogs such as MessageBox.
One of the ways we did this was have an event on the viewmodel that the view would subscribe to when a dialog was required.
public event EventHandler<MyDeleteArgs> RequiresDeleteDialog;
This is OK, but it means that the view requires code which is something I would like to stay away from.
