{
   public ViewModel ButtonViewModel

          return ButtonViewModelObject;

You can use ElementName with traditional binding to achieve the result.

Update: To access delete command from the page's datacontext, the following method can be used, assuming - the change of usercontrol's datacontext (from customer) to the page's datacontext doesn't affect anything else present inside the usercontrol.
