After a lot of debugging and discussion I found a solution to above problem. To pass additional data to a template one can attach properties to parent elements in the hierarchy. Unfortunately the thing where we have access - the GridViewColumn isn't showing up in the visual tree.
To be able to specify the right resources, we have to wrap things up a little bit. I modified above example to be complete so this is a little bit longer.
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.
