Answer 1

There is a few ways to do that. But i think the Command change better...

Example, you have a (grid,list)view with some itemtemplate like that:

And do you want to make a command to for example a FlyoutMenu... But the command it's in the ViewModel and not in GridView.SelectedItem...

What you can do is...

And in the loaded events:

    private void mfiDeletePic_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        var m = (MenuFlyoutItem)sender;

        if (m != null)
        {

            m.Command = Vm.DeleteImageCommand;
            //Vm is the ViewModel instance...
        }
    }

Is not entirely beautiful... But you willnot breake mvvm pattern like this...
