Silverlight 2 beta Binding to object doesn't work

03-08-2008 5:24 PM |

I created an Usercontrol as below with a TextBlock binding to the Usercontrol's custom dependency property MessageText

Width="400" Height="300" x:Name="myMessage">

<StackPanel Background="Black">

<Button Name="closeBtn" Width="100" Height="40" Content="Close"></Button>

<TextBlock Foreground="Azure" x:Name="messageLblBlock"  Text="{Binding ElementName=myMessage, Path=MessageText} FontSize="28" Width="300" Height="100"></TextBlock>

</UserControl>

In the refering page the tag is

<so:MessageBox MessageText="MyMessage" Grid.Row="1" Grid.ColumnSpan="2"

HorizontalAlignment="Left" x:Name="message" > </so:MessageBox>

This simply doesn't work. The dependencyproperty MessageText is in the code class for MessageBox. Any Clues?

Is this just for this Beta release, or this is not planned in version 2? Is there any roadmap for SL2 published, they announced it on MIX...
