Access to Container.DataItem From Custom Templated Control within DataGrid Template

[Earl Teigrob]

I have created a templated custom control that simply creates a spacing
table around other objects. This control works fine for most uses but when I
add it inside the ItemTemplate of a DataGrid Control, Container.DataItem of
the DataGrid control can no longer be access from within the template of my
custom control.

Is there a way to qualify the Container.DataItem object or some other method
for me to access it from within my templated control?

Thanks for your help
