This method is a convenience method for calling BindingOperations::SetBinding, which passes the current instance as the DependencyObject.
This example shows how to create and set a Binding in code.
The FrameworkElement class and the FrameworkContentElement class both expose a SetBinding method. If you are binding an element that inherits either of these classes, you can call the SetBinding method directly.
The following example creates a class named, MyData, which contains a property named MyDataProperty.
The following example shows how to create a binding object to set the source of the binding. The example uses SetBinding to bind the Text property of myText, which is a TextBlock control, to MyDataProperty.
For the complete code sample, see Code-only Binding Sample.
Instead of calling SetBinding, you can use the SetBinding static method of the BindingOperations class. The following example, calls BindingOperations::SetBinding instead of FrameworkElement::SetBinding to bind myText to myDataProperty.
