Question

I have a WPF application that has a ListView with a GridView in it. It has a ContextMenu when you right-click on the items in the grid. I was wondering how I can access the row that is selected from the ContextMenu and access that programatically. My goal is to delete that row of data. Thanks!

This will work using WPF command bindings…

    <ListView>
        <!-- .... -->
        <ListView.ContextMenu>
                <ContextMenu>
                    <MenuItem Header="Remove Item" Command="{Binding RemoveItem}" CommandParameter="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType={x:Type ContextMenu}},Path=PlacementTarget.SelectedItem}" Icon="{StaticResource deleteIcon}"/>
            </DataGrid.ContextMenu>
        </ListView.ContextMenu>
    </ListView>

To create custom command bindings, see this SO post.
