I have a custom control with the following DependencyPorperty:
public static readonly DependencyProperty MyImageProperty = DependencyProperty.Register(
"MyImage",
typeof(ImageSource),
typeof(ImageButton), // that's my custom control class name
new PropertyMetadata(null));
public ImageSource MyImage
{
get { return (ImageSource)GetValue(MyImageProperty); }
set { SetValue(MyImageProperty, value); }
}
If I try the following code:
<Border Name="btnBorder" Height="30">
<Border.Background>
<ImageBrush ImageSource="{Binding Path=MyImage}" />
</Border.Background>
</Border>
I always have the following error in the Visual Studio 2010 Output window:
System.Windows.Data Error: 2 : Cannot find governing FrameworkElement or FrameworkContentElement for target element. BindingExpression:Path=MyImage; DataItem=null; target element is 'ImageBrush' (HashCode=47992654); target property is 'ImageSource' (type 'ImageSource')
but still the application runs fine and the image is loaded normally, no exceptions.
But if I do the following:
<Image Name="btnImage" Source="{Binding MyImage}" />
there are no errors and again application works ok.
Why is this error for ImageBrush? Am I doing something wrong with it?
