Hyperlink as button in gridview cell   

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!
