If you want to do it in XAML, you could try using styles to achieve that.
Here’s an example:
<UserControl x:Class="MyModule.MyView"
xmlns:local="clr-namespace:MyModule">
<UserControl.Resources>
<Style TargetType="local:MyView">
<Setter Property="MyViewProperty" Value="{Binding MyViewModelProperty, Mode=TwoWay}"/>
</Style>
</UserControl.Resources>
<!-- content -->
</UserControl>
In your case both MyViewProperty
and MyViewModelProperty
would be named MyProperty
but I used different names just to be clear about what is what.
