# Data Context Binding

## Content



If you plan to have multiple properties bind to the same source then use the **DataContext** property. The **DataContext** property provides a convenient way to establish a data scope.

The **C1Chart** control uses the **DataContext** property as **ItemsSource** when the items source is not set. **DataContext** should be **IEnumerable** for using as items source.
