Hello EveryBody

As the Title Said is it a good practice to send a reference of the view to the viewmodel so i can close it from there by using the CommendParameter={x:Reference Name=NameOfTheView}.?

if not what would be the best way to do that?

Thank you so much for your time.

If you follow MVVM, the viewmodel should not know something about the view.
