Bind Dependency Property, defined in Code-Behind, through Xaml to a Property in the DataContext of a UserControl

Question

I want to use code similar to that found here. The issue I\'m having is that I\'d like to extend it to allow the value set in the XAML to use {Binding PropertyOfViewModel}

If I understood everything correctly then what you need is a standard MVVM scenario and standard bindings.

It can be done either like this:

Or like this:

Update: In response to the code of your UserControl you've shown...

What you are doing is placing a control inside itself, which obviously will give you a StackOverflow exception. You don't need to define a ContentTemplate inside UserControl. You can just place the content directly as a child element:

    
        
            
                
                    
                    
                    
                
            

            
                
                    
                    
                    
                
            
        
    

    
            
    
    
            
    

   
      

    

    OK
