c# - WPF Datagrid view header binding

Question

Actually the issue im facing is slight different than what title says. I try to sumarize the issue below.

Class PersonnelViewModel
{

public SelectedPersonnelItem PersonnelItemViewModel;

}

Class PersonnelItemViewModel
{

}

Data Context of the View is A whereas the Item source of the data grid is SelectedPersonnelItem which is a B type property in the class A. Now i want to bind the grid column to properties defiend within class A. But its not working as the context of the grid is another class (B). How can i solve this issue ?

XAML

<DataGrid Grid.Row="1"
          SelectedItem="{Binding SelectedPersonnelItem}"
          Name="PersonnelGrid"
          ItemsSource="{Binding PersonnelGridData}"
          event:DatagridRowDoubleClickHandler.MethodName="EditRecord"
          CanUserAddRows="False">
  <DataGrid.Columns>
    <DataGridTemplateColumn>
      <DataGridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate>
        <DataTemplate>
          <CheckBox IsChecked="{Binding IsItemChecked, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}"></CheckBox>
        </DataTemplate>
      </DataGridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate>
    </DataGridTemplateColumn>
    <DataGridTextColumn Header="Name/Company"
                        Binding="{Binding Name}" />
    <DataGridTextColumn Header="Qualification"
                        Binding="{Binding Qualification}" />
    <DataGridTextColumn Header="Arrival"
                        Binding="{Binding ArrivalDate}" />
    <DataGridTextColumn Header="Departure"
                        Binding="{Binding DepartureDate}" />
  </DataGrid.Columns>
</DataGrid> 

Answer 1

You can access the parents datacontext using

Binding="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource FindAncestor, 
    AncestorType={x:Type DataGrid}}, Path=DataContext.ColumnName}" 

So to add a column showing A's Property do

<DataGridTextColumn Header="Company" Binding="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource FindAncestor, AncestorType={x:Type DataGrid}}, Path=DataContext.Company}"/>
