Binding Visible property of a DataGridColumn in WPF DataGrid

Question

I cannot bind the Visible property of the WPF datagridtextcolumn to a boolean value.

My binding expression is,

{Binding Path=DataContext.IsThisColumn         


        

Answer 1

I worked this out.

DataGridCOlumn is not a framework element so the FindAncestor call was failing (DataGridColumn not part of visual tree)

Have to set source property of binding expression to a staticresource and it works fine.
