How can I check if mouse button is left or right in wpf C#?

I'm trying this code actually I have created only one Eventhandler that is on Click="button_Click".

XAML: 

<Window x:Class="WPFAPP.Window1" 
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
    xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
    xmlns:local="clr-namespace:WPFAPP"
    mc:Ignorable="d"
    Title="Window1" Height="447.625" Width="562">

    <Grid>
        <Button x:Name="btn1" Content="Button1" Click="button_Click" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="26,22,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="75"/>
        <Button x:Name="btn2" Content="Button2" Click="button_Click" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="26,61,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="75"/>
        <Button x:Name="btn3" Content="Button3" Click="button_Click" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="26,100,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="75"/>
        <Button x:Name="btn4" Content="Button4" Click="button_Click" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="26,137,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="75"/>
        <Button x:Name="btn5" Content="Button5" Click="button_Click" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="26,174,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="75"/>
    </Grid>
</Window>

Code Behind C#:

private void button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    Button button = (Button)sender;
    if(e.Equals(Mouse.RightButton))
    {
        button.ClearValue(Button.BackgroundProperty);
        button.Background = Brushes.Green;
    } 
}

By using MVVM you can do for Left button Double Click on a ListView Item for example :

The Namespace to add in "Window" or "UserControl"

xmlns:i="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/2010/interactivity"

The ListView :

<ListView x:Name="lvComputers"
          IsSynchronizedWithCurrentItem="True"
          ...>
  <!-- Double Click -->
  <i:Interaction.Triggers>
     <i:EventTrigger EventName="MouseDoubleClick">
        <i:InvokeCommandAction Command="{Binding ListViewComputers_MouseDoubleClick}"
                               CommandParameter="{Binding ElementName=lvComputers, Path=SelectedItem}"
                               />
     </i:EventTrigger>
  </i:Interaction.Triggers>
</ListView>

and then the binded event :

private void ListViewComputers_MouseDoubleClick(object obj)
{
   //Allow only left button double click
   if (Mouse.LeftButton == MouseButtonState.Pressed)
   {
      //Code to execute on Left Button Double Click
   }
}

"Mouse" needs :

using System.Windows.Input;

It's always better to have separate event handler for left and right mouse down. If you need to work as per the clicked button. Below is my approach. 

<Button MouseLeftButtonDown="Button_MouseLeftButtonDown" MouseRightButtonDown="Button_MouseRightButtonDown"></Button>

Below is code behind.

private void Button_MouseLeftButtonDown(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)
{

}

private void Button_MouseRightButtonDown(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)
{

}

If you want to get the button which cause the event, you can check the e.OriginalSource property.

Click is only designed for the most limited interaction, if you use the more advanced mouse events you then get a MouseButtonEventArgs which gives you all details about the event.

the reason for this is that Click isn't a mouse event, you could also trigger it with a touch, stylus, you can even trigger it with the keyboard by pressing Return while highlighted

so try MouseDown, MouseUp or DoubleClick instead

eg

<Button MouseDoubleClick="Button_MouseDoubleClick" >Click me</Button>

private void Button_MouseDoubleClick(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)
{
    if(e.ChangedButton == MouseButton.Right)
    {
    }
    e.Handled = true;
}

or for mouse down

<Button MouseDown="Button_MouseDown" >Click me</Button>

private void Button_MouseDown(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)
{
    if(e.ChangedButton == MouseButton.Right)
    {
    }
    e.Handled = true;
}
