What is the difference between these 2 bindings:
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type Button}">
<Border BorderBrush="{TemplateBinding Property=Background}">
<ContentPresenter />
</Border>
</ControlTemplate>
and
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type Button}">
<Border BorderBrush="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource TemplatedParent}, Path=Background}">
<ContentPresenter />
</Border>
</ControlTemplate>
?
TemplateBinding is a shorthand for Binding with TemplatedParent but it does not expose all the capabilities of the Binding class, for example you can't control Binding.Mode from TemplateBinding.
I thought TemplateBinding does not support Freezable types (which includes brush objects). To get around the problem. One can make use of TemplatedParent
They are used in a similar way but they have a few differences. Here is a link to the TemplateBinding documentation: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms742882.aspx
