CellTemplate Binding

[Joshua]

I'm using MEF to resolve my ViewModel to my View (the satisfy imports is in the MainView.cs file) and I have a custom cell template that looks like the sytax below :

 

 

 

<telerik:GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>

 

 

 

 

    <DataTemplate>

 

 

 

 

            <HyperlinkButton Margin="5,0,0,0" Visibility="Visible" ToolTipService.ToolTip="Edit" Command="{Binding Path= DataContext.EditContact, ElementName= MainView}" CommandParameter="{Binding Path= DataContext.SelectedContact,ElementName= MainView}">

 

 

 

 

                <Image Visibility="Visible" Source="/Images/tools.png"/>

 

 

 

 

            </HyperlinkButton>

 

 

 

 

        </DataTemplate>

 

 

 

 

</telerik:GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>

I can't trigger my RelayCommand from within the grid. Can you assist me in how I can do this considering the way I'm marrying my viewmodel to my view. Your help is greatly appreciated.

Any help in this area the hyperlink isn't triggering when in Celltemplate, but works outside.

Hi,

 You have different name scope inside templates - you cannot use ElementName binding. You can check this thread for more info. 

Kind regards,
