[WPF] How to bind to data when the DataContext is not inherited

Read Original

This technical article addresses a common WPF data binding issue where elements like DataGrid columns cannot inherit the DataContext because they are not part of the visual/logical tree. It explains the problem, demonstrates why typical binding workarounds fail, and presents a solution using the Freezable class to enable proper DataContext inheritance and binding for these elements.
