Hello,

Hitting a bit of a strange issue with dependency properties and user controls.

I have a user control where a string is passed in as a dependency property: Inside that user control it calls another user control passing that same dependency property value down: This doesn't work and just appears to do nothing. But if I bind that same property to the TextBlock control it displays that value: If I assign the value directly to the nested user control it also works: Any ideas/tips would be much appreciated!

Hi,

I've been able to reproduce this problem. It turns out that the binding in the inner user control is resolved against its own namescope, and because its name is also "Root", it is binding to its own property value, which is empty by default.

You can workaround the problem now by just naming each user control root differently.

Anyway, could you please report it in our bugtracker so we can fix it?

Awesome thanks for the tip and great catch! Will report in the bugtracker now.
