As far as I understand you open the child window from some handler function which is called when user selects the row. So you know the data inside this function. If this is indeed the case, then probably the best approach is to set the DataContext property of your ChildWindow to the data when opening it. You can than bind the properties inside ChildWindow.xaml.

I have a Silverlight 4 datagrid that is populated from a WCF web service. &nbsp;What I would like to do is when a user clicks on a row a child window will pop open with the Rows contents being displayed.<br />
I have the Child Window opening the only issue I am having is how to grab the selected row's data upon selection. &nbsp;I know how to write event handler's to pass the data as well. &nbsp;Just need to know how to access<br />
the data itself.<br />
