WPF Bind to class member in code behind

Question

Pretty simple question, but can't seem to find a complete answer on here... I need to databind in xaml to a property of a class member in codebehind. ``` ... ``` Where the code behind looks like: ``` class Main { ... private Record _record; public Record RecordProp { get { return _record; } } ... } class Record { public bool IsViewChecked { get; set; } } ``` What I've got now doesn't work, what am I doing wrong?

Accepted Answer

Path needs a Source to go against (Source, DataContext, RelativeSource, ElementName). ElementName can only be used to refer to elements declared in XAML by their x:Name. Try this instead to point to your Window as the source:

```
IsChecked="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource Mode=FindAncestor, AncestorType={x:Type Window}}, Path=RecordProp.IsViewChecked}"
```
