For XAML usage of RelativeSource, see RelativeSource markup extension.
RelativeSource is a class that supports a XAML markup extension. Markup extensions are typically implemented when there is a requirement to escape attribute values to be other than literal values or to use type converters. All markup extensions in XAML use curly braces ({}) in their attribute syntax, which is the convention by which a XAML processor recognizes that a markup extension must process the attribute. For more information, see the "Markup Extensions" section of XAML for Windows Phone 8. The RelativeSource markup extension is specifically required for setting the Binding::RelativeSource property as a XAML attribute.
