Question

I have the following XAML:

<ItemsControl ItemsSource="{Binding DataContext}">
    <ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
        <DataTemplate>
            <local:MyControl DataContext="{Binding}"/>
        </DataTemplate>
    </ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
    <ItemsControl.ItemsPanel>
        <ItemsPanelTemplate>
            <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal"/>
        </ItemsPanelTemplate>
    </ItemsControl.ItemsPanel>
</ItemsControl>

How do I set the DataContext of MyControl to a single item of the ItemsControl?

NOTE: ItemsControl is embedded in a UserControl. The UserControl has it’s DataContext property set in the place where it’s being used.

Figured it out:

<ItemsControl ItemsSource="{Binding}">
    <ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
        <DataTemplate>
            <local:MyControl DataContext="{Binding}"/>
        </DataTemplate>
    </ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
    <ItemsControl.ItemsPanel>
        <ItemsPanelTemplate>
            <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal"/>
        </ItemsPanelTemplate>
    </ItemsControl.ItemsPanel>
</ItemsControl>

Just changed {Binding DataContext} to {Binding}
