Since the name is (for all intents and purposes) private to the XAML of the UserControl itself, I usually do it this way just so the bindings are a bit more readable. I don’t know if there’s a perf benefit one way or the other.

So let’s say you had a real DP called TitleText, I’d do something like: <UserControl ... x:Name=”me”> <TextBlock Text=”{Binding TitleText,ElementName=me}” /> ... so now the owner of the UserControl can set TitleText and it will be reflected by the child control. Thanks Matt ... fabulous! I stared at this code for some time before I realised what was happening. I didn’t think of doing it this way around. You make a typical DP for TitleText then bind the child control to “its own control”. This works, but I have to x:Name the <UserControl> and bind use that name as the ElementName exactly as you say.
