The problem is that the {Binding CaseTitle} isn't finding the CaseTitle dependency property you created. The default Source object that a Binding uses is the current value of DataContext property of the element to which it is bound. That object is not the UserControl .
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.
