reference the component using the xaml file
===

I would like to act on the View from my ViewModelClass by code, not just modifying the properties, to which the XAML binds to.

    member x.SelectedUdl 
      with get() = selectedudl
      and set value = selectedudl  <- value
                      //do fancy things like 
                      //this.Quotes12.ItemsSource <- asyncquotes.gethisto (undls |> Seq.head, 2012)


However to do this, I need a reference to the component itself.
Do I have any way to  add a reference to "this" from the xaml or other way ?


       <UserControl.DataContext>
          <ViewModel:QuotesViewModel>
               <x:Arguments>
                  THIS
               </x:Arguments>
          </ViewModel:QuotesViewModel>
       </UserControl.DataContext>
       <DockPanel>


    type QuotesViewModel(this:Window) =
        inherit ViewModelBase()
