How to Bind MouseDoubleClick Event

Question

How can I bind a MouseDoubleClick event of a DataGrid to a delegate command and get the selected item of that grid.? I want to do this in XAML file as I'm using Prism 2.0 and MVVM pattern.

Hi, Please look at attached properties, it wil be helpful. The below is the code that will help, i had seen ti somewhere but don't remember the site or author's name thanks to him anyways.

/// <summary>
/// The static class the defines the attached command DP for exposing MouseDoubleClick 
///event as  a command
/// </summary>
public static class CommandMouseDoubleClick
{
    #region TheCommandToRun

    /// <summary>
    /// TheCommandToRun : The actual ICommand to run
    /// </summary>
    public static readonly DependencyProperty TheCommandToRunProperty =
        DependencyProperty.RegisterAttached("TheCommandToRun", typeof(ICommand),
        typeof(CommandMouseDoubleClick),
        new FrameworkPropertyMetadata((ICommand)null));


    /// <summary>  
    /// Gets the TheCommandToRun property.    
    /// </summary>  
    public static ICommand GetTheCommandToRun(DependencyObject d)
    {
        return (ICommand)d.GetValue(TheCommandToRunProperty);
    }

    /// <summary>  
    /// Sets the TheCommandToRun property.
    /// </summary>  
    public static void SetTheCommandToRun(DependencyObject d, ICommand value)
    {
        d.SetValue(TheCommandToRunProperty, value);
    }
