Hi,

I've managed to include a hyperlink with a click handler in a databound
gridview cell like this...

<GridViewColumn Header="Title">
<GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<TextBlock>
<Hyperlink Click="Hyper_OnClick">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=AttachmentTitle}" />
</Hyperlink>
</TextBlock>
</DataTemplate>
</GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
</GridViewColumn>


but can't figure out how to get the text for the link as a string inside
the hyperlink click handler. How can I do this?

I used your example -- works great by the way -- for a list of
customers that I had. When I clicked on the customer I wanted to edit
that record. Therefore, in the "Tag" of the Hyperlink I placed a
binding to the customer id. That was the easiest way I found to
recover information I needed about the record that was clicked. Here
is the snippet...

<ListView Name="customerList">
<ListView.View>
<GridView>
<GridViewColumn Header="Name">
<GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<TextBlock>
<Hyperlink Click="EditCustomer"
Tag="{Binding Path=customerid}">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding
Path=name}"/>
</Hyperlink>
</TextBlock>
</DataTemplate>
</GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
</GridViewColumn>
</GridView>
</ListView.View>
</ListView>

and here is an example for accessing it...

MessageBox.Show("Customer: " +
((Hyperlink)sender).Tag.ToString());

.... it works great!
