WPF Interaction Trigger CallMethodAction

Question

I have Used Event Trigger in my View part given code as below. Almost all bindings are properly with ViewModel class - MainWindowViewModel, but for the method "CustomRibbonWindow_Loaded", its throwing runtime exception like :

An exception of type 'System.ArgumentException' occurred in Microsoft.Expression.Interactions.dll but was not handled in user code Additional information: Could not find method named 'CustomRibbonWindow_Loaded' on object of type 'MainWindow' that matches the expected signature. If there is a handler for this exception, the program may be safely continued.

I have tried putting putting TargetObject="{Binding ElementName=RR}" as well as TargetObject="{Binding}" also. But none of seems working.

My method way in VM is as below,

private void CustomRibbonWindow_Loaded()
    {
       ...
    }

Please guide how to resolve.

<i:Interaction.Triggers>
    <i:EventTrigger EventName="Loaded">
        <si:CallMethodAction MethodName="CustomRibbonWindow_Loaded"/>
    </i:EventTrigger>

</i:Interaction.Triggers>

Do your method subscription like this.

private void Window_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) 
// add the proper parameters
{
    // code here
}
