    copied!<p>I've got a usercontrol that I want to put in a FixedDocument, but before I do that I need to change the text of a label. I think I need to use Dependency Properties.</p> <p>Here's the simplified XAML.</p> <pre><code>&lt;UserControl x:Class="PrinterTest.TestControl" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006" xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008" mc:Ignorable="d" d:DesignHeight="300" d:DesignWidth="300" DataContext="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource Self}}"&gt; &lt;Grid&gt; &lt;Label Content="{Binding LabelCaption}" Height="24" HorizontalContentAlignment="Right" Name="lblCaption" Width="140" /&gt; &lt;/Grid&gt; &lt;/UserControl&gt; </code></pre> <p>And the codebehind</p> <pre><code>public partial class TestControl : UserControl { public TestControl() { InitializeComponent(); } public readonly static DependencyProperty LabelCaptionDP = DependencyProperty.Register("LabelCaption", typeof(string), typeof(TestControl), new FrameworkPropertyMetadata("no data")); public string LabelCaption { get { return (string)GetValue(LabelCaptionDP); } set { SetValue(LabelCaptionDP, value); } } </code></pre> <p>In the calling bit I instantiate by <code>TestControl myControl = new TestControl();</code></p> <p>What am I doing wrong, because I can't access the properties in the new copy of the control? Thank you!</p>
