Why does this work? (Binding in a Panorama-Template, Windows Phone 7)?

You've assigned a string as the object to use for the Header content You've also specified a DataTemplate to present the object assigned to the Header property. In this case as stated above that object is simply a string. This string therefore becomes the DataContext of the ContentPresenter ultimately used to present the header When you use {Binding} without any Path the binding will return the source object.

Without specifying any source object the default source object is the current DataContext for the element on which the binding is set. Therefore the result of {Binding} in this case is the string you assigned to the Header property There is no "non abbreviated version" for this binding, certainly not one that makes any sense.

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.
