Question

I have a ListView and i set its ItemsSource property to an ObservableCollection of:

public class Item
{
    public string Name { get; set; }
}

So:

ObservableCollection data = new ObservableCollection<Item>();
MyList.ItemsSource = data;

This is my ListView:

<ListView x:Name="MyList">
    <ListView.ItemTemplate>
        <DataTemplate>
            <Button Click="Button_Click"/>
        </DataTemplate>
    </ListView.ItemTemplate>
</ListView>

Now i add a new Item to my ObservableCollection and I catch the Button_Click event:

Item item1 = new Item();
item1.Name = "item1";
data.Add(item1);

private void Button_Click(Button sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    // How to get item1 here from sender?
}

So, i want to get the Item relative to the button I clicked. How could i do this? Thanks.

Answer 1

Your Item will be in the DataContext of the ListViewItem and in the Button too:

private void Button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    Button button = sender as Button;
    Item item = button.DataContext as Item;
}
