Question

If I have the following control:

public partial class MyControl : UserControl{     public string MyControlText{         get { return MyTextBox.Text; }          set { MyTextBox.Text = value; }     }      public MyControl(){ ... } } 

How can I bind to the ‘MyControlText’ property when I place the control on one of my pages, like so:

<local:MyControl MyControlText={Binding Path=SomeField} /> 

Thanks!

You need to make the property a dependency property. The documentation for the DependencyProperty class shows you how to do this:
