Commanding within DataTemplates in MVVM!

A quick post about setting commands within DataTemplates when using the MVVM pattern!

When you are inside a DataTemplate the DataContext is changed to the  the current item, so to access the command you will need to use the “relative source”

Something like

 <Button Content="Delete" Width="Auto" 

Command="{Binding DataContext.RemoveCommand, 

RelativeSource={RelativeSource FindAncestor,

 AncestorType={x:Type ItemsControl}}}" 

CommandParameter="{Binding}">

Hope this real quick note helps save you some time!!

Until next time!

Cennest!
