Summary

Dr. WPF talks about how how to allow a value conveter to access the target of a binding.

Excerpt

"Dear Dr. WPF, In my application, I’m using a value converter to convert a GUID to a static resource. The GUID is accessible in my DataTemplate through a binding like this: <DataTemplate> <Grid Height="Auto" Width="Auto"> <TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=ID}" /> </Grid> </DataTemplate> I would really like to use the GUID in a more dynamic way as a key into a resource dictionary..."
