Call Command from Code Behind

Question

So I\'ve been searching around and cannot find out exactly how to do this. I\'m creating a user control using MVVM and would like to run a command on the \'Loaded\' event.

Answer 1

Well, if the DataContext is already set you could cast it and call the command:

var viewModel = (MyViewModel)DataContext;
if (viewModel.MyCommand.CanExecute(null))
    viewModel.MyCommand.Execute(null);

(Change parameter as needed)
