Question

What does {Binding Path=.} mean in a WPF binding?

I see some people use it, but couldn’t find any explanation.

Are there any other special symbols in binding syntax (other than {Binding /})?

Answer 1

This is shorthand for binding to the current source. For more info see here.

From the documentation specifically:

Optionally, a period (.) path can be used to bind to the current
source. For example, Text="{Binding}" is equivalent to Text="{Binding Path=.}".
