If it is for the MapViewDataBase control I think you might just be able to do Text="{TemplateBinding ViewData, Path=Text1}" but I haven't tested that.

Hi John,

I haven't tried your last edit, but changing to this did work. I am not sure if changing from a TemplateBinding is a bad thing or not.

Text="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource TemplatedParent}, Path=ViewData.Text1}"
