How to Bind To Data within a Datatemplate of a ContentControl

Question

I have the following simplified Example:

Answer 1

You need to bind the Content property of the ContentControl

<ContentControl Content="{Binding}" ContentTemplate="{StaticResource PersonTemplate}" />

This will set the DataContext of the ContentControl as Content of the control.

Setting only the ContentTemplate property is not enough. The ContentControl does not implicitly use its DataContext as Content.
