title: MVVM and UserControl
body: <p>I'm in a little  bit of a pickel, here it is:</p>
  
  <p>I have a MainWindow.xaml using a userControl. This latter needs a path to function properly and has it passed through a public string property.</p>
  
  <p>The MainWindow is coupled with a viewmodel in which I do the work needed to create the path needed above. </p>
  
  <p>Is there a clean way to set the userControl's path property from the MainWindow.xaml, such as for instance a binding to one of its viewmodel's properties?
  Something like </p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;uc:MyUserControl x:Name="controlsName" 
      PathPropertyNeeded="{Binding ViewModelsProperty}" /&gt;
  </code></pre>
