Bind DataGridTemplateColumn Visibility

Question

I am trying to bind the visibility of a column in a datagrid to a boolean DependencyProperty in the ViewModel (Set as data context of the View - UserControl in this case). For some reason (I don't seem to understand) it just doesn't work.

After looking here I found out that the datagridtemplate (and any other template) is not part of the visual tree. So I can't bind to it.

Any simple solution to the problem (without breaking the MVVM pattern of course) ?

Is it the problem with binding like its not hitting or you are just setting it to true or false. You might need a Converter for that. – Mantel
