How have you successfully implemented MessageBox.Show() functionality in MVVM?

Question

I\'ve got a WPF application which calls MessageBox.Show() way back in the ViewModel (to check if the user really wants to delete). This actually works

Answer 1

I just create an interface (IMessageDisplay or similar) which gets injected into the VM, and it has methods like a MessageBox (ShowMessage() etc). You can implement that using a standard messagebox, or something more WPF specific (I use this one on CodePlex by Prajeesh).

That way everything's separated and testable.
