What are common WPF data binding errors and how can I fix them?

Common WPF data binding errors include 'Binding not found', 'DataContext not set', and 'Invalid cast'. You can fix them by ensuring the DataContext is properly set and that the binding paths are correct.

How do I check if my DataContext is set correctly?

You can check if your DataContext is set by inspecting the DataContext property in your XAML or code-behind. You can also use debugging tools to see if it's null.

What should I do if I get an 'Invalid cast' error?

An 'Invalid cast' error usually means that the data type in your binding does not match the expected type. Ensure that the property types in your ViewModel match those in your XAML.

Can you give an example of a correct binding?

Sure! A correct binding might look like this: <TextBox Text="{Binding Name}" /> where 'Name' is a property in your ViewModel.
