I have a problem when binding a command in a context menu on a usercontrol that is on a tab page. The first time I use the menu (right-click on the tab) it works great, but if I switch tab the command will use the databound instance that was used the first time.
If I put a button that is bound to the command in the usercontrol it works as expected...
Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong??
This is a test project that exposes the problem:
App.xaml.cs:
public partial class App : Application
{
protected override void OnStartup(StartupEventArgs e)
{
base.OnStartup(e);
CompanyViewModel model = new CompanyViewModel();
Window1 window = new Window1();
window.DataContext = model;
window.Show();
}
}
