What's an inheritance context?

re: What's an inheritance context?

The ContextMenu example you mentioned was actually the one that gave me the biggest headache. I was trying to Databind my Context Menu Items to a property of the DataContext in my parent element, and it took me a long time to work out why it didn't work.

In the end I had to resort to code to set up the Context Menu, which was a shame. What would be the best way of solving this problem? Am I right in thinking that even an ElementName binding to an Element higher up the tree would fail?

Yes, FindName on the context menu would not find anything because the context menu has no parent pointers.

For binding, the best solution is to explicitly set the DataContext on the context menu, and/or set the binding's Source (Either in code or xaml). Most of the time, that works just fine, the place where it breaks down is when you're doing item templates and/or hierarchical data binding, in that case is often a lot harder for you to calculate yourself what the data context should be.
