Question

Considering this code:

<telerik:RadGridView ItemsSource="{Binding SearchResults}" RowDetailsVisibilityMode="VisibleWhenSelected">
    <telerik:RadGridView.Columns>
        <telerik:GridViewDataColumn Header="First Name" DataMemberBinding="{Binding FirstName}"  />
        <telerik:GridViewDataColumn Header="Last Name" DataMemberBinding="{Binding LastName}"  />
    </telerik:RadGridView.Columns>
    <telerik:RadGridView.RowDetailsTemplate>
        <DataTemplate>
            <Button Command="{Binding OpenView1Command}">Open View 1</Button> <!-- This does not work -->
        </DataTemplate>
    </telerik:RadGridView.RowDetailsTemplate>
</telerik:RadGridView>

The OpenView1Command is defined in my ViewModel. How do I make the binding work?

ok, Michael, my previous answer works, so there is nothing wrong with Telerik , and to prove it, I coded this up, copy/paste/run:

XAML:

<Window x:Class="Sample.MainWindow"
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
     xmlns:telerik="http://schemas.telerik.com/2008/xaml/presentation"
    Height="350" Width="525" 
    x:Name="wnd">

<telerik:RadGridView  ItemsSource="{Binding ViewModel.Items, ElementName=wnd}" 
                      AutoGenerateColumns="False"
                      RowDetailsVisibilityMode="VisibleWhenSelected">
    <telerik:RadGridView.Columns>
        <telerik:GridViewDataColumn Header="Name" DataMemberBinding="{Binding Name}"  />
    </telerik:RadGridView.Columns>
    <telerik:RadGridView.RowDetailsTemplate>
        <DataTemplate>
            <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal"
                        Margin="10,10,10,10">
                <TextBlock Text="This is my RowDetailsTemplate: " />
                <Button Command="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource FindAncestor, AncestorType={x:Type Window}}, Path=ViewModel.SomeCommand}">SomeCommand</Button>
            </StackPanel>
        </DataTemplate>
    </telerik:RadGridView.RowDetailsTemplate>
</telerik:RadGridView>
</Window>
