This method is a convenience method for calling BindingOperations::SetBinding, which passes the current instance as the DependencyObject, and creates a new Binding based on the provided path parameter. This signature is more convenient if you are establishing a simple default binding. If you need to specify any binding properties to non-default conditions, or want to use a MultiBinding or PriorityBinding,you should use the SetBinding(DependencyProperty^, BindingBase^) signature.
The following example sets a binding on a Paragraph element, by creating a new custom data object, establishing that object as DataContext, and setting the binding path to a property within it.
