I'm inexperienced, especially at MVVM, but trying to use ReactiveUI, and I'm not understanding the examples that I'm finding that demonstrate ReactiveCommand. I have used ICommand / DelegateCommand one time before, but this is different, and I'm not getting it.

What I'm trying to do is really simple. Click a button in the view, and have that execute a method in the view model. The examples that I'm finding all involve IObservable<>, and I don't get that, as they don't explanations that are geared to the total noob that I am.

Basically, I'm trying to use this as a learning experience, and what I'd ideally like to do is bind the button's Command property in xaml to a command (however that works, I don't know), which causes a method to execute. No collections, I'd just be passing a single int variable.

Thanks for the help. I really appreciate it.

Edit - Below appears code using Paul Betts' suggestions:

C#

public ReactiveCommand AddToDailyUsed { get; protected set; }

public MainPageVM()
{
    Initialize();
    AddToDailyUsed = new ReactiveCommand();
    AddToDailyUsed.Subscribe(AddToTodayUsedAction => this.AddToDailyUsedExecuted());
}

private object AddToDailyUsedExecuted()
{
    MessageBox.Show("AddToDailyUsedAction");
    return null;
}

private void AddToDailyUsedAction(object obj)
{
    MessageBox.Show("AddToDailyUsedAction");
}

XAML

<Button Content="{Binding Strings.add, Source={StaticResource LocalStrings}}"
        Command="{Binding AddToTodayUsed}"
        Margin="-5,-10, -10,-10"
        Grid.Row="3"
        Grid.Column="2" />

Obviously I'm missing something. I inserted break points at the AddToDailyUsedExecuted and AddToDailyUsedAction methods, and they are never reached.

Edit Constructor for code behind the view:

MainPageVM mainPageVM = new MainPageVM();

public MainPage(
