Hello,

I have a datagrid with master detail implementation as follows:

<data:DataGrid x:Name="dgData"  Width="600" ItemsSource="{Binding Path=ItemCollection}"
                       HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Hidden" CanUserSortColumns="False" RowDetailsVisibilityChanged="dgData_RowDetailsVisibilityChanged">
                    <data:DataGrid.Columns>
                        <data:DataGridTextColumn Header="Item" Width="*" Binding="{Binding Item,Mode=TwoWay}"/>
                        <data:DataGridTextColumn Header="Company" Width="*" Binding="{Binding Company,Mode=TwoWay}"/>

                    </data:DataGrid.Columns>
                    <data:DataGrid.RowDetailsTemplate>
                        <DataTemplate>
                            <data:DataGrid x:Name="dgrdRowDetail" Width="400" AutoGenerateColumns="False" HorizontalAlignment="Center" 
                                       HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Hidden" Grid.Row="1">
                                <data:DataGrid.Columns>
                                    <data:DataGridTextColumn Header="Date" Width="*" Binding="{Binding Date,Mode=TwoWay}"/>
                                    <data:DataGridTextColumn Header="Price" Width="*" Binding="{Binding Price, Mode=TwoWay}"/>
                                    <data:DataGridTemplateColumn>
                                        <data:DataGridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate>
                                            <DataTemplate>
                                                <Button Content="Show More Details" Click="buttonShowDetail_Click"></Button>
                                            </DataTemplate>
                                        </data:DataGridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate>
                                    </data:DataGridTemplateColumn>
                                </data:DataGrid.Columns>
                            </data:DataGrid>
                        </DataTemplate>
                    </data:DataGrid.RowDetailsTemplate>
                </data:DataGrid>

I want to open a Child window in clicking the button which shows more details about the product.

I'm using MVVM pattern. My Model contains a method which takes the Item name as input and retursn the Details data.

My problem is how should I pass the Item to ViewModel which will get the Details data from Model? and where shoukd I open the new Child Window? In View or ViewModel?

Please help.Thanks.
