Question

I have an UserControl and inside that there is a DependencyProperty EmployeeSchedule which will accept a DataTable or a DataRow. I created a Listbox and in the ItemTemplate I referred to this UserControl.

My question is that the data for the UserControl is the currentrow or DataContext of the ListboxItem which it is placed. How will I supply data of the ListboxItem to the user controls dependency property?

Thnx

<custom:MyUserControl EmployeeSchedule="{Binding PathToScheduleOffTheAcutalDataObject}" />

surely? Data Binding provides a powerful way for you to refer to properties that are available on your data item. This can take forms such as the simple property name, to multi-level paths, as well as array indexes.
