XAML arguments for Click event

Question

I have the following XAML:

<Button Name="btnJeans" Click="btnJeans_Click" Padding="-1" >
    <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" Margin="0,0,0,17" Name="jeansItem">
        <!--Replace rectangle with image-->
        <Image Height="119" Width="82" Source="{Binding Image}" Margin="12,0,9,0"/>
        <StackPanel Width="311">                                    
            <TextBlock Text="{Binding Name}" TextWrapping="Wrap" Style="{StaticResource PhoneTextExtraLargeStyle}"/>
            <TextBlock Text="{Binding Price}" TextWrapping="Wrap" Margin="12,-6,12,0" Style="{StaticResource PhoneTextSubtleStyle}"/>
        </StackPanel>
    </StackPanel>
</Button>

However, btnJeans_Click needs to pass "{Binding Name}" as an argument.

How would I do this? I'm developing for Windows Phone 7.

Answer 1

An alternative on the pc is to get get the DataContext from the click event args e.g.

private void Button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
      var record = ((Button)e.OriginalSource).DataContext;
      MessageBox.Show("Do something with " + record.ToString()); 
    }

this might be applicable to the phone as well?

Answer 2

I think you need to use a command instead of a button click event to do this so you can do:

<Button Name="btnJeans" Command="{Binding Path=ButtonClickCommand}" CommandParameter="{Binding Name}">
    ...
</Button>

You'll then need to expose ButtonClickCommand as a ICommand object.

How to do this will depend on the structure of the rest of your application. E.g. Using MVVM pattern etc.
