Remarks

The ToolCommand class is similar to the RoutedCommand class in Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF). When the Execute or CanExecute method is called, the binding tree is searched for command bindings that are bound to this command. The event handlers specified by the command bindings are then executed.

Thread Safety

Any public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are thread safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.
