I have collection of objects inside DataGrid. One property is an URL inside a string.
I want to bind this property with a button, so when user clicks on a button, it opens browser and goes to the specified URL.

XAML
<DataGridTemplateColumn>
  <DataGridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate> 
    <DataTemplate> 
      <Button Click="{Binding ViewModelURL}">Go to link</Button> 
    </DataTemplate> 
  </DataGridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate> 
</DataGridTemplateColumn>


This Click example is obviously wrong, but I want to give you general idea what I want to achieve. I'm using MVVM pattern, so it probably should be done purely from XAML side. I kind of can't access that specific URL from code-behind (because I don't know which button was pressed).

What I have tried:

A lot of googling, but it appears no one ever attempted that.

But I don't know the link from code behind. I need to somehow bind it inside XAML.

I don't think you can do it that way. Itwould be much simpler if you simply handled the event in your form i think.

I have went around it. Binded link to the Tag, and I'm reading the Tag inside Click method. Is it great? No. Does it work? Absolutely.

I think the Tag property is the most forgotten and neglected property in WPF. I often don't consider its use unless it's a last-resort situation.
