# IDialogService interface

Shows application dialogs from view model code, so that a view model can ask the user a question without referencing any window type. The view that hosts the view model is located through [`ViewLocatorAttribute`](./ViewLocatorAttribute.md), and the owner window is chosen by the implementation.

```csharp
public interface IDialogService
```
