WPF Binding Syntax Question

I’ve been using this syntax all over the place, and I thought I knew what it did, but now I have no idea.

Value="{Binding}"

I am having huge trouble searching for this syntax online because of course the curly brackets are ignored.

For instance:

<Style x:Key="GridCell" TargetType="{x:Type TextBlock}">
    <Setter Property="ToolTip" Value="{Binding}}"/>
</Style>

When applied as a style to a textblock is binding the tooltip to the unfomatted (unconverted) property that the textblock content (text) is bound to.

Answer 1

Its data binding value to the root of the window or control’s DataContext.
