WPF Error 40 BindingExpression path error: property not found on 'object'

I had same problem because class of object from which I was pulling out data didn't have get; and set; on its properties.

this didn't work:

public string Name;

but this worked:

public string Name{ get; set; }

I wrote some other SO answer recently about how to read the binding errors so they make more sense. To summarize, add line breaks to your error message on the colons and semi-colons, and read it from the bottom up.

Your error message is:

• System.Windows.Data Error: 40 :
  • BindingExpression path error: 'ConfigurationModel' property not found on 'object' ''IncrementingTextBox' (Name='video_length_textbox')'.
  • BindingExpression:Path=ConfigurationModel.DontUseSensorLength;
• DataItem='IncrementingTextBox' (Name='video_length_textbox');
• target element is 'IncrementingTextBox' (Name='video_length_textbox');
• target property is 'IsEnabled' (type 'Boolean')

This can be read from the bottom up as:

• The binding failing is the IsEnabled property of an element of type IncrementingTextBox (named video_length_textbox).

• The DataItem (DataContext) of the element is an object of type IncrementingTextBox named video_length_textbox

• The binding expression it is trying to find is ConfigurationModel.DontUseSensorLength

• And the problem the binding is having is that the ConfigurationModel property is not found on the data context object IncrementingTextBox

So your DataContext for "video_length_textbox" is set to itself, and your IncrementingTextBox class does not have a public property called ConfigurationModel

Since I don't see you setting the DataContext for your IncrementingTextBox anywhere in your XAML, check out the code for your IncrementingTextBox class. The most likely case is you are setting the DataContext to itself in either the Constructor

this.DataContext = this;

or the XAML

DataContext="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource Self}}"
