Question

Answer 1

If you want a context menu for your application, then the ContextMenu and ContextMenuService are the best approach to take because it is standard throughout third party and pre-installed applications. Users already understand the 'tap-and-hold' gesture, so working around that will be counter-intuitive.

If (for whatever reason) you must initiate a ContextMenu from a single tap, then you can always customize the source code for ContextMenu.cs from the Silverlight Toolkit so that instead of hooking the Hold event it hooks the Tap event.
