silverlight - How to make context menu work for windows phone?

Question

I am using ContextMenu from Windows Phone Control toolkit. Wondering how do I know which list item in the list is pressed? It seems I can know which context menu is selected but I have no way to know which list item is operated on. Please help. Thanks!

        <DataTemplate x:Key="ListItemTemplate">
            <StackPanel Grid.Column="1" VerticalAlignment="Top">
                <TextBlock Tag="{Binding Index}"  Text="{Binding SName}" TextWrapping="Wrap" Style="{StaticResource PhoneTextExtraLargeStyle}" />
              <toolkit:ContextMenuService.ContextMenu>
                <toolkit:ContextMenu>
                  <toolkit:MenuItem Header="Add to playlist" Click="Move_Click"/>
                </toolkit:ContextMenu>
              </toolkit:ContextMenuService.ContextMenu>
            </StackPanel>

        private void Move_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        String name = (string)((MenuItem)sender).Header;
        // how to know which index of the item is targeted on
    }

I would also recommend MVVM, but it can be simplified. No need to go to the extreme of having a ViewModel for every object. The key is to bind the command to the DataContext of your ItemsControl (eg ListBox).

Let's assume that your ItemTemplate is for a ListBox, the ListBox has it's ItemsSource property bound to your ViewModel. Your xaml would look like this:

<ListBox x:Name="SongsListBox" ItemsSource="{Binding Songs}">
    <ListBox.ItemTemplate>
        <DataTemplate >
            <StackPanel >
                <TextBlock Text="{Binding SName}" TextWrapping="Wrap" Style="{StaticResource PhoneTextExtraLargeStyle}" />
                <toolkit:ContextMenuService.ContextMenu>
                   <toolkit:ContextMenu>
                       <toolkit:MenuItem Header="Add to playlist" Command="{Binding DataContext.AddToPlaylistCommand, ElementName=SongsListBox}" CommandParameter="{Binding}"/>
                   </toolkit:ContextMenu>
                </toolkit:ContextMenuService.ContextMenu>
            </StackPanel>              
        </DataTemplate>
    </ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>

Your ViewModel, would then have the property Songs, that is a collection of your model object. It also has an ICommand AddToPlaylistCommand. As I've said before, my favorite implementation of ICommand is the DelegateCommand from the PNP team.

public class ViewModel : INotifyPropertyChanged
{
    public ViewModel()
    {
        Songs = new ObservableCollection<Songs>();
        AddToPlaylistCommand = new DelegateCommand<Song>(AddToPlaylist);
    }
    public ICollection<Songs> Songs { get; set; }
    public ICommand AddToPlaylistCommand  { get; private set; }

    private void AddToPlaylist(Song song)
    {
        // I have full access to my model!
        // add the item to the playlist
    }

    // Other stuff for INotifyPropertyChanged
}
