Accessing a Button's data context on click

I have a typical game grid - a UniformGrid consisting of Buttons. The buttons are each data-bound to individual "Cell" objects. Is there a way to access the button itself (and by extension, the particular object that the button is bound to) in the Button's click handler?

If each button handles its own click event then you can use sender that is passed to event handler:

var button = sender as Button;

or if you have one Button.Click handler for all buttons on UniformGrid for example

var button = e.OriginalSource as Button;

and then getting DataContext is as easy as:

var context = button.DataContext;
