I define a headertemplate into a wpf groupbox and the databinding doesn’t work. I don’t understand why.

<GroupBox>
<GroupBox.HeaderTemplate>
            <DataTemplate>
            <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" >
                <Image Source="/PopuAssuNetApplication.UI.Control;component/Images/Members.png" Width="24" />
                <TextBlock VerticalAlignment="Center">
                                <TextBlock.Text>
                                        <MultiBinding StringFormat="{x:Static Member=resx:Resources.PersonsInContractGroupBox}"> 
                                            <Binding Path="CurrentContract.Federation" RelativeSource="{RelativeSource FindAncestor, AncestorType={x:Type GroupBox}}">
                                            </Binding>
                                            <Binding Path="CurrentContract.Type" Converter="{StaticResource contractTypeConverter}" RelativeSource="{RelativeSource FindAncestor, AncestorType={x:Type GroupBox}}">
                                            </Binding>

    The GroupBox does not have a member called “CurrentContract”. Most probably, you want to accesss a property called “CurrentContract” from the corresponding ViewModel?! The ViewModel is the GroupBox’s DataContext, so you have to change the Binding Paths to something like…

    <Binding Path="DataContext.CurrentContract.Type" Converter="{StaticResource contractTypeConverter}" RelativeSource="{RelativeSource FindAncestor, AncestorType={x:Type GroupBox}}">
