WPF dynamically generate contextmenu on datagrid via viewmodel, binding matched command of viewmodel

The key of dynamically generated contextmenu and menuitems is to bind command to appropriate command in viewmodel.

 

 <DataGrid.ContextMenu >
     <ContextMenu ItemsSource="{Binding BookKindsList,Mode=TwoWay,UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}">
         <ContextMenu.ItemTemplate>
             <DataTemplate>
                 <StackPanel>
                     <MenuItem Header="{Binding Kind}" 
                               Command="{Binding DataContext.ShowCmd,RelativeSource={RelativeSource Mode=FindAncestor, AncestorType=ContextMenu}}"                                           
                               CommandParameter="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource FindAncestor, AncestorType=MenuItem}}"/>
                 </StackPanel>
             </DataTemplate>
         </ContextMenu.ItemTemplate>
     </ContextMenu>
 </DataGrid.ContextMenu>
