You will be better off using the RelativeSource property. I stumbled on to this page when I faced the same problem. Here is how i solved it This saves you from creating a new class! i just figured it out and it works for me.

Good day,

I have the same problem. I have a user control with a textblock and textbox (simple). Binding used to work but since Beta2, same error as your thread.

I tried for many hours to make your example work with no luck; it is not clear how the binding actually is done from the main program on to the MyData class.

My main problem though is that the property in the control (MySize) is never called when the data changes. I managed to get the TextChanged event called but the property MySize is never executed so the value doesn't get updated.

Hope you have an idea!

cheers.
