title: Why Does WPF Swallow Databinding Exceptions?
body: <p>I am in the process of learning WPF, and am puzzled by the fact that databinding exceptions do not cause a runtime/unhandled exception.</p>
  
  <p>Can anyone explain the benefits of databinding working in this way?  I'm assuming that there <strong>are</strong> benefits, but so far I don't see any (disclaimer: I am just getting started with databinding).</p>
  
  <p>Links to resources that explain the theoretical (or practical) reasons for making this decision would work as well.</p>
