WPF: How do I know if Binding RelativeSource found an ancestor

Question

I'm using the binding RelativeSource with the FindAncestor Mode but the binding is not working. How do I debug and see if It is able to find the ancestor?

Answer 1

use Snoop

EDIT: you can of course use the usual debugging mechanisms, but I like Snoop the best. You can navigate to your control and if your binding failed it tells you so

Answer 2

Or you can set PresentationTraceSources.TraceLevel on the binding. If you are using VS2010 remember to set the Data binding value in Options->Debugging->Output Window
