Content generated from ContentTemplate does not have DataContext of Silverlight ContentControl set

Question

In my Silverlight 4 application, I have a ContentControl with its ContentTemplate property bound to a property in the data context. That works fine. However, the content of the template once rendered has its DataContext set to null. I would like the content to inherit the same DataContext as set for the ContentControl. Is there a way to get this to happen?

Answer 1

The ContentControl's template has the ContentControl's Content property as a DataContext. So try

<ContentControl Content="{Binding}" />

if this is merely the current DataContext.
