ContainerBinding for Attached Property

[Kevin]

I am trying to use a ContainerBinding to bind to the Canvas.Left and Canvas.Top attached properties.  Here is an example:

        <telerik:ItemsControl ItemsSource="{Binding Parts}"
                              HorizontalAlignment="Left"
                              VerticalAlignment="Top"
                              Width="500"
                              Height="500">
            <telerik:ItemsControl.ItemsPanel>
                <ItemsPanelTemplate>
                    <Canvas>
                        <Canvas.Background>
                            <SolidColorBrush Color="White" />
                        </Canvas.Background>
                    </Canvas>
                </ItemsPanelTemplate>
            </telerik:ItemsControl.ItemsPanel>
            <!--setup container bindings... temp workaround for inability to do setter bindings in SL-->
            <telerik:ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
                <DataTemplate>
                    <telerik:ContainerBinding.ContainerBindings>
                        <telerik:ContainerBindingCollection x:Name="ContainerBindings">
                            <telerik:ContainerBinding PropertyName="(Canvas.Left)"
                                                      Binding="{Binding X}" />
                            <telerik:ContainerBinding PropertyName="(Canvas.Top)"
                                                      Binding="{Binding Y}" />
                            <telerik:ContainerBinding PropertyName="Width"
                                                      Binding="{Binding Width}" />
                            <telerik:ContainerBinding PropertyName="Height"
                                                      Binding="{Binding Height}" />
                        </telerik:ContainerBindingCollection>
                    </telerik:ContainerBinding.ContainerBindings>
                    
                    <Grid Background="Orange"/>
                </DataTemplate>
            </telerik:ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>           
        </telerik:ItemsControl>

The Width and Height bindings in the ContainerBinding collection are working fine, but the Canvas.Left and Canvas.Top bindings are not working.  

Can anyone tell me how to get this working?

Hi Kevin,

Unfortunately due to some limitations of Silverlight the container bindings do not work with attached properties. Fortunately in Silverlight 5 this problem does not exist, and actually you will not need container bindings at all :)
