Binding on DependencyProperty of custom User Control not updating on change

Question

I\'m having difficulties with databinding on my custom user control (s). I created an example project to highlight my problem. I\'m completely new to WPF and essentially MVV

Answer 1

I tried your code works fine the only change i made was to remove the code behind propertychangedcallback you have and databind the Label (Readout) to the dependency property.

USERCONTROL(XAML)

USERCONTROL (CODE BEHIND)

public partial class UserControl1 : UserControl
{
    #region Dependency Properties
    public static readonly DependencyProperty MinutesRemainingProperty =
                DependencyProperty.Register
                (
                    "MinutesRemaining", typeof(int), typeof(UserControl1),
                    new UIPropertyMetadata(10)
                );
    #endregion

    public int MinutesRemaining
    {
        get
        {
            return (int)GetValue(MinutesRemainingProperty);
        }
        set
        {
            SetValue(MinutesRemainingProperty, value);
        }
    }

   public UserControl1()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
    }
}
