Bonnie,
Thanks for your reply.
1) check
2) check

I said it is probably something obvious, but not that obvious :)

The same fooUserControl instance, that I am having a problem databinding, has another property that I databind to a different property in the same fooObject without any problems. (Hmm this doesn't make a lot of sense even if I know what I am talking about <s>)

I'll post some "real" code when I get back to work tomorrow.
