Answer 1

Or, you could create a derived class

public class CustomDataGrid : DataGrid
{
    public ICommand DoubleClickCommand
    {
        get { return (ICommand)GetValue(DoubleClickCommandProperty); }
        set { SetValue(DoubleClickCommandProperty, value); }
    }

    // Using a DependencyProperty as the backing store for DoubleClickCommand.  This    enables animation, styling, binding, etc...
    public static readonly DependencyProperty DoubleClickCommandProperty =
        DependencyProperty.Register("DoubleClickCommand", typeof(ICommand), typeof(CustomDataGrid), new UIPropertyMetadata());

    public CustomDataGrid()
        : base()
    {            
        this.PreviewMouseDoubleClick += new MouseButtonEventHandler(CustomDataGrid_PreviewMouseDoubleClick);
    }


    void CustomDataGrid_PreviewMouseDoubleClick(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)
    {
        if (DoubleClickCommand != null)
        {
            DoubleClickCommand.Execute(null);
        }
    }


}

and in XAML simply bind to the newly created command
