WPF从父控件的DataContext绑定到操作

Question

I can't seem to get the binding to a command from my view model to work. The parent of the context menu which is a listmenu binds its itemssource to a property in the UserControl called ActiveArtists. As so I tried to bind "back" to the original ViewModel; of which is a child of another ViewModel; with RelativeSource. However the way I did it doesn't seem to work.

XAML for the tabitem

<TabItem DataContext="{Binding Children[1]}" Header="Database">
        <Grid Background="#FFE5E5E5" IsEnabled="True">
            <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
                <ColumnDefinition/>
                <ColumnDefinition/>
                <ColumnDefinition/>
            </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
            <ListView x:Name="ArtistListView" ItemsSource="{Binding ActiveArtists}" SelectedItem="{Binding SelectedArtist}"
                      ScrollViewer.HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Disabled" Margin="10,10,5,10">
                <ListView.ContextMenu>
                    <ContextMenu FontSize="10">
                        <MenuItem Header="Delete Artist" Command="{Binding Path=DeleteArtistCommand, RelativeSource={RelativeSource FindAncestor, AncestorType={x:Type TabItem}}}" />
                    </ContextMenu>
                </ListView.ContextMenu>
                <ListView.View>
                    <GridView>
                        <GridViewColumn Header="Artist" DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding Name}" Width="150"/>
                    </GridView>
                </ListView.View>
            </ListView>
            <ListView x:Name="listView1" ItemsSource="{Binding ActiveAlbums}" SelectedItem="{Binding SelectedAlbum}"  Margin="5,10,5,10" Grid.Column="1">
                <ListView.View>
                    <GridView>
                        <GridViewColumn Header="Album" DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding Name}" 
                                        Width="150"/>
                    </GridView>
                </ListView.View>
            </ListView>
            <ListView x:Name="listView2" ItemsSource="{Binding ActiveTracks}" SelectedItem="{Binding SelectedTrack}" Margin="5,10,10,10" Grid.Column="2">
                <ListView.View>
                    <GridView>
                        <GridViewColumn Header="Track" DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding Name}"
                                        Width="150"/>
                    </GridView>
                </ListView.View>
            </ListView>

Code for the MainWindowViewModel

public class MainWindowViewModel : INotifyPropertyChanged
{
    public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;             
    private void RaisePropertyChanged(string propertyName)
    {
        if (PropertyChanged != null)
        {
            PropertyChanged(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(propertyName));
        }
    }

    private MusicLogClient _musicLog;

    ObservableCollection<object> _children;
    public ObservableCollection<object> Children { get { return _children; } }

    public MainWindowViewModel()
    {            
        string rootPath = "C:\\Programs\\MusicLog\\UserData\\";
        _musicLog = new MusicLogClient(new UserSettings(rootPath+"database.xml", rootPath+"credentials.xml"));
        _children = new ObservableCollection<object>();
        _children.Add(new ArtistEntryViewModel(_musicLog));
        _children.Add(new DatabaseViewModel(_musicLog));
    }

Update:

I tried implementing one of the solutions proposed but it still doesn't link to the command.

This is the updated code snippet.

<ListView.ContextMenu>
                    <ContextMenu FontSize="10" DataContext="{Binding PlacementTarget.DataContext, RelativeSource={RelativeSource Self}}">
                        <MenuItem Header="Delete Artist" Command="{Binding DeleteArtistCommand}" />
                    </ContextMenu>
</ListView.ContextMenu>

Update 2:

ViewModel used -

public class DatabaseViewModel : INotifyPropertyChanged
{
    public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;
    private void RaisePropertyChanged(string propertyName)
    {
        if (PropertyChanged != null)
        {
            PropertyChanged(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(propertyName));
        }
    }

Answer 1

Just set DataContext for your ContextMenu:

<ContextMenu FontSize="10" DataContext="{Binding PlacementTarget.DataContext, RelativeSource={RelativeSource Self}}">

Update:
DeleteArtistCommand must be a property, not a field.

public ICommand DeleteArtistCommand {get;set}
