Answer 2

bind the contextmenu.itemssource to your data returned from your database and then set the containerstyle to bind to the object property you want for header.

<ContextMenu ItemsSource="{Binding MyList}">
<ContextMenu.ItemContainerStyle>
<Style TargetType="MenuItem">
<Setter Property="Header" Value="{Binding HeaderProperty}" />
</Style>
</ContextMenu.ItemContainerStyle>
</ContestMenu>
