Path is used to specify then name of the property of the underlying object to bind to. Additional you are able to use indirect property targeting to specify a sub-property of a property of the object. Currently it is not possible to bind to indexed properties.

Xaml

<TextBlock Text="{Binding Name}"/>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=Name}"/>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=Account.OpenDate}"/>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=Property1.Property2.Property3}"/>

That's it!

    Can you bind to an indexed property (e.g. Path=Name[0])?

    Can you bind to a property from a previous datacontext? E.g.

    <Grid DataContext={Binding Person}>
    <Grid DataContext={Binding Address}>
    <TexBox DataContext={Binding XXXX}>
    </Grid >
    </Grid>

    I wish thata XXXX where for example the Person.Name property. I have a very simmilar situation here, and i can't figure out how to do that.

    Thanks
