    I just spent 2 days trying to figure out EXACTLY this and had just about given up.  Very serendipitous.  Thanks.

    This is new in silverlight 4? I can remember have tested it in sl3 and the binding couldn't find an element outside the data template.

    SpamMe, All the necessary functionality to support this was present in Silverlight 3 - but it's entirely possible there was a bug that got in the way.

    This is very clever,  most ElementName binding examples attach to the scroll bar,  you are doing sometning new and very useful

    Barb, Sorry to hear that! If you want to send me a simple project that demonstrates the problem, I can pass it on to the DataGrid folks to have a look at. (I assume you're referring to the Silverlight SDK DataGrid...) Thanks!
