I have a window that get its data from another class that is passed as DataContext. But I now also want to do data binding within the window. The window looks as follows:
<Window x:Class="WpfApplication1.Window1"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
Title="Window1" Height="300" Width="300">
<StackPanel>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding UserName}" />
<TextBlock x:Name="TestTextBlock">Hello World</TextBlock>
<TextBlock x:Name="TestTextBlock2" Text="{Binding ElementName=TestTextBlock,Path=Text}" />
</StackPanel>
</Window>
The binding between the text blocks TestTextBlock and TestTextBlock2 works fine, but only until I change the DataContext-property of the window. How can I bind between those two textblocks so that changing the DataContext will not break the data binding?
Thanks in advance, Stefan
