Image
To create the custom command we need to implement ICommand interface which is having two method called CanExecute and Execute and one EventHandler called CanExecuteChanged. CanExecute method is responsible to tell if commend will execute or not. Execute method perform the action.

Client Class : The client class is a class which depends on the service class. Service Class : The service class is a class that provides service to the client class.
