Dependency Property Not Binding to UserControl?

It's hard to be certain since you haven't shown your binding in XAML, however, your binding will by default be looking for the bound property on whatever is set in the DataContext. I suspect this is the problem...

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
