WPF binding OneWayToSource sets source property to “” when the DataContext is changed

Question

I have a OneWayToSource binding that is not behaving as I expected when I set the DataContext of the target control. The property of the source is being set to default inste

You need Attached property:

public static readonly DependencyProperty OneWaySourceRaiseProperty = DependencyProperty.RegisterAttached("OneWaySourceRaise", typeof(object), typeof(FrameworkElementExtended), new FrameworkPropertyMetadata(OneWaySourceRaiseChanged));

        public static object GetOneWaySourceRaise(DependencyObject o)
        {
            return o.GetValue(OneWaySourceRaiseProperty);
        }

        public static void SetOneWaySourceRaise(DependencyObject o, object value)
        {
            o.SetValue(OneWaySourceRaiseProperty, value);
        }

        private static void OneWaySourceRaiseChanged(DependencyObject d, DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs e)
        {
            if (e.NewValue == null)
                return;

            var target = (FrameworkElement)d;
            target.Dispatcher.InvokeAsync(() =>
        {
            var bindings = target.GetBindings().Where(i => i.ParentBinding?.Mode == BindingMode.OneWayToSource).ToArray();
            foreach (var i in bindings)
            {
                i.DataItem.SetProperty(i.ParentBinding.Path.Path, d.GetValue(i.TargetProperty));
            }
        });

And set binding in XAML:

extendends:FrameworkElementExtended.OneWaySourceRaise="{Binding}"

where {Binding} - is binding to DataContext. You need:

    public static IEnumerable GetBindings(this T element, Func func = null) where T : DependencyObject
            {
                var properties = element.GetType().GetDependencyProperties();
                foreach (var i in properties)
                {
                    var binding = BindingOperations.GetBindingExpression(element, i);
                    if (binding == null)
                        continue;
                    yield return binding;
                }
            }


private static readonly ConcurrentDictionary DependencyProperties = new ConcurrentDictionary();
    public static DependencyProperty[] GetDependencyProperties(this Type type)
            {
                return DependencyProperties.GetOrAdd(type, t =>
                {
                    var properties = GetDependencyProperties(TypeDescriptor.GetProperties(type, new Attribute[] { new PropertyFilterAttribute(PropertyFilterOptions.All) }));
                    return properties.ToArray();
                });
            }

            private static IEnumerable GetDependencyProperties(PropertyDescriptorCollection collection)
            {
                if (collection == null)
                    yield break;
                foreach (PropertyDescriptor i in collection)
                {
                    var dpd = DependencyPropertyDescriptor.FromProperty(i);
                    if (dpd == null)
                        continue;
                    yield return dpd.DependencyProperty;
                }
            }
