How to see design-time data-binding in XAML editor (it works in runtime)?
问题 I data-binded version number to appear as follows: <Window <!-- ... --> DataContext="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource Self}}"> <Grid> <TextBlock> Version is: <Run Text="{Binding Version, Mode=OneWay}"></Run> and advancing... </TextBlock> </Grid> </Window> and it's working during run-time. How can I see it during design-time in the XAML editor in Visual Studio 2012 ? I only see: Version is: and advancing... instead of: Version is: 5.2.2 and advancing... EDIT - My solution: Jure's answer
