Question

I have a Listbox within my WP7 application, and inside the DataTemplate I have a toolkit:WrapPanel which then has a context menu (toolkit). How can I get the text of a textblock inside the listbox datatemplate when they click on the contextmenu menuitem?

Hope this makes sense heres some code:

                <ListBox x:Name="FirstListBox" Margin="0,0,-12,0">
                <ListBox.ItemTemplate>

                    <DataTemplate>
                        <toolkit:WrapPanel Margin="0,0,0,17" Width="432" Height="auto">
                            <toolkit:ContextMenuService.ContextMenu>
                                <toolkit:ContextMenu>
                                    <toolkit:MenuItem Header="copy" Click="copytoCB_Click"></toolkit:MenuItem>
                                </toolkit:ContextMenu>
                            </toolkit:ContextMenuService.ContextMenu>
                            <TextBlock Text="{Binding author}" TextAlignment="Left" TextWrapping="NoWrap" Style="{StaticResource PhoneTextExtraLargeStyle}" MinWidth="430" />
                            <TextBlock Text="{Binding content}" TextWrapping="Wrap" Name="txtContent" Style="{StaticResource PhoneTextSubtleStyle}"/>
                        </toolkit:WrapPanel>
                    </DataTemplate>

                </ListBox.ItemTemplate>
            </ListBox>

Thanks,
