How do I use RelativeSource with WPF bindings and what are the different use-cases?

    If you want to bind to another property on the object:

    {Binding Path=PathToProperty, RelativeSource={RelativeSource Self}}
    

    If you want to get a property on an ancestor:

    {Binding Path=PathToProperty,
        RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType={x:Type typeOfAncestor}}}
    

    If you want to get a property on the templated parent (so you can do 2 way bindings in a ControlTemplate)

    {Binding Path=PathToProperty, RelativeSource={RelativeSource TemplatedParent}}
    

    or, shorter (this only works for OneWay bindings):

    {TemplateBinding Path=PathToProperty}

    Binding RelativeSource={
        RelativeSource Mode=FindAncestor, AncestorType={x:Type ItemType}
    }
    ...
    

    The default attribute of RelativeSource is the Mode property. A complete set of valid values is given here (from MSDN):

    • PreviousData Allows you to bind the previous data item (not that control that contains the data item) in the list of data items being displayed.

    • TemplatedParent Refers to the element to which the template (in which the data-bound element exists) is applied. This is similar to setting a TemplateBindingExtension and is only applicable if the Binding is within a template.

    • Self Refers to the element on which you are setting the binding and allows you to bind one property of that element to another property on the same element.

    • FindAncestor Refers to the ancestor in the parent chain of the data-bound element. You can use this to bind to an ancestor of a specific type or its subclasses. This is the mode you use if you want to specify AncestorType and/or AncestorLevel.

    I just posted another solution for accessing the DataContext of a parent element in Silverlight that works for me. It uses Binding ElementName.

    It's worthy of note that for those stumbling across this thinking of Silverlight:

    Silverlight offers a reduced subset only, of these commands

    I created a library to simplify the binding syntax of WPF including making it easier to use RelativeSource. Here are some examples. Before:

    {Binding Path=PathToProperty, RelativeSource={RelativeSource Self}}
    {Binding Path=PathToProperty, RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType={x:Type typeOfAncestor}}}
    {Binding Path=PathToProperty, RelativeSource={RelativeSource TemplatedParent}}
    {Binding Path=Text, ElementName=MyTextBox}
    

    After:

    {BindTo PathToProperty}
    {BindTo Ancestor.typeOfAncestor.PathToProperty}
    {BindTo Template.PathToProperty}
    {BindTo #MyTextBox.Text}
    

    Here is an example of how method binding is simplified. Before:

    // C# code
    private ICommand _saveCommand;
    public ICommand SaveCommand {
     get {
      if (_saveCommand == null) {
       _saveCommand = new RelayCommand(x => this.SaveObject());
      }
      return _saveCommand;
     }
    }
    
    private void SaveObject() {
     // do something
    }
    
    // XAML
    {Binding Path=SaveCommand}
    

    After:

    // C# code
    private void SaveObject() {
     // do something
    }
    
    // XAML
    {BindTo SaveObject()}
    

    You can find the library here: http://www.simplygoodcode.com/2012/08/simpler-wpf-binding.html

    Note in the 'BEFORE' example that I use for method binding that code was already optimized by using RelayCommand which last I checked is not a native part of WPF. Without that the 'BEFORE' example would have been even longer.

    This is an example of the use of this pattern that worked for me on empty datagrids.

    <Style.Triggers>
        <DataTrigger Binding="{Binding Items.Count, RelativeSource={RelativeSource Self}}" Value="0">
            <Setter Property="Background">
                <Setter.Value>
                    <VisualBrush Stretch="None">
                        <VisualBrush.Visual>
                            <TextBlock Text="We did't find any matching records for your search..." FontSize="16" FontWeight="SemiBold" Foreground="LightCoral"/>
                        </VisualBrush.Visual>
                    </VisualBrush>
                </Setter.Value>
            </Setter>
        </DataTrigger>
    </Style.Triggers>
