Question

i have a quick Binding Question about Silverlight.
I have some Expander and want to overwrite their Header Templates

<Controls:Expander Header="MyHeaderTitle"
                   HeaderTemplate="{StaticResource MyExpanderHeaderTemplate}">
   //Content
</Controls:Expander>
<Controls:Expander Header="MyNextHeaderTitle"
                       HeaderTemplate="{StaticResource MyExpanderHeaderTemplate}">
    //Content
</Controls:Expander>

In the header template i have an textbox and want to bind the text to the Header of the expander.

<DataTemplate x:Key="MyExpanderHeaderTemplate">
    <TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=Header}">
       // some triggering stuff
    </TextBlock>
</DataTemplate>

I tried some stuff with RelativeSource (Self and TemplatedParent) but nothing seems to work.
Some Ideas would be great, thx.

have you tried:

<DataTemplate x:Key="MyExpanderHeaderTemplate">
    <TextBlock Text="{Binding .}">
       // some triggering stuff
    </TextBlock>
</DataTemplate>
