Getting a refresh on mvvm and wpf after some years. I've got some questrions on the following xaml:

<Window x:Class="SimpleMVVMExample.ApplicationView"
        xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
        xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
        xmlns:local="clr-namespace:SimpleMVVMExample"
        Title="Simple MVVM Example with Navigation" Height="350" Width="525">

    <Window.Resources>
        <DataTemplate DataType="{x:Type local:HomeViewModel}">
            <local:HomeView />
        </DataTemplate>
        <DataTemplate DataType="{x:Type local:ProductsViewModel}">
            <local:ProductsView />
        </DataTemplate>
    </Window.Resources>

    <DockPanel>
        <Border DockPanel.Dock="Left" BorderBrush="Black" BorderThickness="0,0,1,0">
            <ItemsControl ItemsSource="{Binding PageViewModels}">
                <ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
                    <DataTemplate>
                        <Button Content="{Binding Name}"
                                Command="{Binding DataContext.ChangePageCommand, RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType={x:Type Window}}}"
                                CommandParameter="{Binding }"
                                Margin="2,5"/>
                    </DataTemplate>
                </ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
            </ItemsControl>
        </Border>

        <ContentControl Content="{Binding CurrentPageViewModel}" />
    </DockPanel>
</Window>

What is the relative source attribute? What is it providing? How does it work?

and the button command is bound to who? is it looking for a property called ChangePageCommand belonging to a PageViewModel object or belonging to the datacontext of the Window?
