I have a custom colorpicker control a'la Kevin Moore's example in the SDK and I'm using it within another custom control. The parent control has a color dependency property that I'm trying to bind to the colorpicker like so in the parent control's generic.xaml resource dictionary:

<cust:ColorPicker x:Name="myColorPicker" Color="{Binding Path=ParentControlColor, RelativeSource={RelativeSource TemplatedParent}}"/>

But this doesn't seem to work. Actually...this doesn't even work:

<cust:ColorPicker

x:Name="myColorPicker" Color="Red"/>

Color is exposed as a dependency property in the colorpicker control.

When I change values in the colorpicker it doesn't cause the parent control's "changed" event to fire either...even though the other dependency properties in the parent control DO cause the "changed" event to fire.

Do I need an additional converter in the parent control or something?
