I have a list (see below) contained in a window. The window's DataContext has two properties, Items and AllowItemCommand.
How do I get the binding for the Hyperlink's Command property needs to resolve against the window's DataContext?
<ListView ItemsSource="{Binding Items}">
<ListView.View>
<GridView>
<GridViewColumn Header="Action">
<GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<StackPanel>
<TextBlock>
<!-- this binding is not working -->
<Hyperlink Command="{Binding AllowItemCommand}"
CommandParameter="{Binding .}">
<TextBlock Text="Allow" />
</Hyperlink>
</TextBlock>
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
</GridViewColumn>
</GridView>
</ListView.View>
</ListView>

You could try something like this:
...Binding="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource FindAncestor,
AncestorType={x:Type Window}}, Path=DataContext.AllowItemCommand}" ...
This will also work:
<Hyperlink Command="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType=ItemsControl},
Path=DataContext.AllowItemCommand}" />
ListView will inherit its DataContext from Window, so it's available at this point, too.
And since ListView, just like similar controls (e. g. Gridview, ListBox, etc.), is a subclass of ItemsControl, the Binding for such controls will work perfectly.
This also works in Silverlight 5 (perhaps earlier as well but i haven't tested it). I used the relative source like this and it worked fine.
RelativeSource="{RelativeSource Mode=FindAncestor, AncestorType=telerik:RadGridView}"
