title: FrameworkElement`s DataContext Property does NOT inherit down the element tree
body: <p>Hello WPF Pros at least I hope some of you read this!</p>
  
  <p><em>DataContext is a property on FrameworkElement (base class for all WPF Controls) and is implemented as a DependencyProperty. That means all the descendant elements in the logical tree share the same DataContext.</em> </p>
  
  <p><strong>So the ContentControl should do it with its descendant elements right?</strong></p>
  
  <p>I have a scenario where that is <strong>NOT</strong> the case and I would like to know WHAT is the cause of that misbehaviour ?!</p>
  
  <p>That you understand a bit more about it please read this thread ( dont NOT want to copy everything here) where the trouble starts...:</p>

  <p>and to say it in <strong>short words</strong>: My DataTemplates within the ContentControl do have a dead DataContext that means there is NOTHING to bind to it, what is actually not possible...</p>
  
  <p>Every Element down the ContentControl has NOTHING set in the DataContext Property ???</p>
