Answer 1

You need to use a converter which will allow you to extract your value out of the Dictionary via the ConverterParameter.

public class DictConverter: IValueConverter
{
    public object Convert(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, CultureInfo culture)
    {
        Dictionary data = (Dictionary)value;
        String parameter = (String)parameter;
        return data[parameter];
    }
}

The XAML would be as follows...

    


Content="{Binding MyDictProperty, Converter={StaticResource MyDictConverter}, ConverterParameter=foo}"
