Binding the Width Property of a DataGridColumn to the ActualWidth of the parent DataGrid

Question

I tried to solve my previous question with manually binding the Width property of the DataGridTextColumn here is the first Version of my XAML Code.

Answer 1

Had the same issue and found out that using x:Reference you cannot refer to any container of the object you are using it from. Nasty hack, but I'd imagine if you created some other control (TextBlock) and bound it's width to the DataGrid ActualWidth and THEN used x:Reference on that TextBlock it would avoid the cyclical reference
