How to close the app from anywhere in the app?

How can an application be closed from a location other than the ShellWIndow?
In this case, File->Exit's command handler is in a class derived from
IApplicationView and it needs to close the application. How can this be
done?

From Application.Run() documentation:
"An application stops running when Shutdown is called;"

Hence I suggest: Application.Current.Shutdown()

Environment.Exit(0); seems to work. Application did not offer me the options
of Current.Shutdown();

I just did Close():

public partial class MainWindow : System.Windows.Window
{
public MainWindow()
{
InitializeComponent();
}

void OnExit (object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
Close();
}
}

Indeed, this works fine from within the Window derived class. However, the
question predicated that the close may be called from anywhere within the
application, not just within the main window. I'd originally thought that
there would be some easy way to get hold of the main window but was unable
to find such functionality. In the end, I found a work around so the
question is now mute. Thanks anyway.

Didn't it?
Are you sure you are writting a "standart" WPF application?
That is one with:
public partial class App : System.Windows.Application

Because, here are some snippets from System.Windows.Application
documentation:

public static Application Current { get; }
public void Shutdown ()


Anyway, good that you found a method to do it.
I'm just curious to know if we talked about the same thing....
