WPF Update Binding when Bound directly to DataContext w/ Converter

Question

Normally when you want a databound control to \'update,\' you use the \"PropertyChanged\" event to signal to the interface that the data has changed behind the scenes.

Answer 1

The workaround here was to add a property to my object (to be used as the datacontext) called "Self" , which simply returned

public Object Self { get { return this; }}

Then in the binding I used this property:

Then when I call

PropertyChanged(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs("Self"))

it works like a charm.

Thanks all.
