Bindings in GridViewDataColumn.Header does not get evaluated

[Marius]

I am binding from a column header to some properties on a viewmodel. This binding is set up as shown:

                <telerik:GridViewDataColumn>
                    <telerik:GridViewDataColumn.Header>
                        <Grid>
                            <Grid.RowDefinitions>
                                <RowDefinition/>
                                <RowDefinition/>
                            </Grid.RowDefinitions>
                            <Label Grid.Row="0">Volume flow</Label>
                            <ComboBox Style="{StaticResource unitGridHeader}" Grid.Row="1" ItemsSource="{Binding Path=UnitVolumeFlow.AvailableUnits}"
                                          SelectedItem="{Binding Path=UnitVolumeFlow.CurrentUnit}" />
                        </Grid>
                    </telerik:GridViewDataColumn.Header>

The header is not populated with data when its shown, I also notice that there is no binding error output from Visual Studio. I've done a little research and I see that the DataContext from the grid is propagated to the DataGridViewColumn.DataContext. It seems like that binding evaluation is ignored entirely. What can cause this behaviour and how can I fix it?

Got it! The DataContext was not propagated from the GridViewDataColumn to the header. I added a "Loaded" event to the root element in the header and copied the DataContext:

        private void Header_Load(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            FrameworkElement element = sender as FrameworkElement;
            element.DataContext = DataContext;
        }

I had the same problem, is this already reported as a bug?
