Read Original

This technical article delves into XAML Namescopes in Windows Phone development, explaining why direct ElementName binding can fail between a page and controls within its LayoutRoot. It details the problem's cause, provides a definition from MSDN, and demonstrates the solution using the NamescopeBinding helper class from the Cimbalino Toolkit to enable proper command parameter binding for an ApplicationBarIconButton.
