DataGridTemplateColumn is not part of the visual or logical tree, and therefore has no binding ancestor (or any ancestor) so the RelativeSource doesn't work.
Instead you have to give the binding the source explicitly.
<UserControl.Resources>
<local:BindingProxy x:Key="proxy" Data="{Binding}" />
</UserControl.Resources>
<DataGridTemplateColumn Visibility="{Binding Data.IsVisible,
Source={StaticResource proxy},
Converter={StaticResource BooleanToVisibilityConverter}}">
And the binding proxy.
public class BindingProxy : Freezable
{
protected override Freezable CreateInstanceCore()
{
return new BindingProxy();
}
public object Data
{
get { return (object)GetValue(DataProperty); }
set { SetValue(DataProperty, value); }
}
// Using a DependencyProperty as the backing store for Data.
// This enables animation, styling, binding, etc...
public static readonly DependencyProperty DataProperty =
DependencyProperty.Register("Data", typeof(object),
typeof(BindingProxy), new UIPropertyMetadata(null));
}
