Binding an ImageBrush Problem

[star-italia]

My XAML is the following:

<ResourceDictionary xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml">
<Style x:Key="ButtonStyle" TargetType="{x:Type Button}">
<Setter Property="OverridesDefaultStyle" Value="True" />
<Setter Property="SnapsToDevicePixels" Value="True" />
<Setter Property="FontSize" Value="16" />
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type Button}">
<Grid Name="buttonBackground" Background="{Binding Path=Background}">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=Content}" />
<ContentPresenter Margin="2" HorizontalAlignment="Center"
VerticalAlignment="Center" RecognizesAccessKey="True"/>
</Grid>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
</ResourceDictionary>

This is my ButtonStyle. As you can see the grid background is bound to the
Background property of the button, but hen i set it, the background remains
empty

What's the error?

Thanks in advance for your help

Hello,

use a {TemplateBinding Background} instead of {Binding ...}

Kind regards,

Hello,

the relative source is different. {TemplateBinding Background} is equal to
{Binding Background, RelativeSource={RelativeSource TemplatedParent}}.

Google will certainly reveal more detailed explanations.

Thanks Henning for your help!

Hi Star-italia,

A TemplateBinding is an optimized form of a Binding for template scenarios,
analogous to a Binding constructed with {Binding
RelativeSource={RelativeSource TemplatedParent}}.

For more information on Binding and TemplateBinding, please refer to the
following MSDN documents:

"Binding Markup Extension"
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms750413.aspx

"TemplateBinding Markup Extension"

Hope this helps.
If you have any question, please feel free to let me know.
