wpf - Binding to property on root element in DataTemplate through a ContentControl -

in user interface want put titles above usercontrols.

i want declare these titles in xaml future localizability, want keep them out of datacontexts.

can databinding fetch them property set on root node of usercontrol?

i have boiled problem down following code example:

using system.windows;  namespace wpfapplication12 {     /// <summary>     /// interaction logic mainwindow.xaml     /// </summary>     public partial class mainwindow : window     {         public mainwindow()         {             initializecomponent();              this.person = new author { name = "guge" };              this.datacontext = this;         }          public object person { get; set; }     }      public class author     {         public string name { get; set; }     } } 

and:

<window x:class="wpfapplication12.mainwindow"     xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"     xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"     xmlns:local="clr-namespace:wpfapplication12"     title="mainwindow" height="350" width="525"> <window.resources>     <datatemplate datatype="{x:type local:author}">         <border automationproperties.name="author" borderthickness="1" borderbrush="black">             <label content="{binding name}"/>         </border>     </datatemplate> </window.resources> <stackpanel>     <label x:name="position" content="author"/>     <contentcontrol x:name="presentation" content="{binding person}"/> </stackpanel> 

and practical problem is: how can use databinding in content property of "position" label fetch word "author" automationproperties.name property of border in datatemplate?

how going route on data object:

public class author {     public string name { get; set; }     public string typename { get; set; } // might better in base class person } 

and:

<window.resources>     <datatemplate datatype="{x:type local:author}">         <border automationproperties.name="{binding typename}"                  borderthickness="1" borderbrush="black">             <label content="{binding name}"/>         </border>     </datatemplate> </window.resources> <stackpanel>     <label x:name="position" content="{binding elementname=presentation, path=datacontext.typename}"/>     <contentcontrol x:name="presentation" content="{binding person}"/> </stackpanel>
