@MattBall While I agree that the poster needs to include more information about what they've tried and what their situation is, this is actually a legitimately difficult question for someone new to XAML (hard to see that if you aren't familiar with XAML though). - N_A

If you genuinely need to have a button in your ItemTemplate - the easiest way to add an event handler is to create a UserControl for use in the ItemTemplate, put the button in it and add the event handler inside of that UserControl.

An alternative way is to not actually use a Button at all and simply setting IsItemClickEnabled to true and using the ItemClick event.

The appropriate way to do this is to bind the command of your button to a command property on the DataContext of the item which is templated.
