Are “{Binding Path=.}” and “{Binding}” really equal

by

The point of the exception presumably is that you cannot two-way bind a binding-source itself, so it tries to prevent you from creating a binding which does not behave the way you would want it to. By using {Binding Path=.} you just trick the error detection.

(Also it’s not unheard of that documentation is erroneous or inaccurate, though i do like the MSDN documentation a lot in general as it usually does contain the crucial points one is interested in)
