Title Body

I have created a UserControl with some DependencyProperties (in the example here only one string property). When I instantiate the Usercontrol, I can set the property of the UserControl and it is shown as expected. When I am trying to replace the static text by Binding, nothing is displayed. My UserControl looks as follows: <User Control x:Class="TestUserControBinding.MyUserControl" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006" xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008" mc:Ignorable="d" d:DesignHeight="30" d:DesignWidth="100"> <Grid> <Label Content="{Binding MyText}"/> </Grid> </UserControl> The Code Behind is: namespace TestUserControBinding { public partial class MyUserControl : UserControl { public MyUserControl() { InitializeComponent(); this.DataContext = this; } public static readonly DependencyProperty MyTextProperty = DependencyProperty.Register( "MyText", typeof(string), typeof(MyUserControl)); public string MyText { get { return (string)GetValue(MyTextProperty); } set { SetValue(MyTextProperty, value); } }// MyText } } When I try this in my MainWindow, everything is as expected: <Window x:Class="TestUserControBinding.MainWindow" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns
