How to bind command into ContextMenu in DataTemplate

Question

I\'m a little bit lost with bindings. I tried so many things in the last hour, I cannot enumerate all of them. I have an issue with a contextMenu inside a DataTemplate.

Answer 1

ContextMenu takes the DataContext of the ItemsControl and so it cannot access the ViewModel directly. Also It is not part of the VisualTree and so you cannot do RelativeSource binding. So We need to get the DataContext of the UserControl through TextBlock's Tag property and then bind to ContextMenu. You refer the below code.
