Reference from-

http://beyondrelational.com/modules/4/whatisnew/368/features/7252/silverlight-5-ancestor-relative-source-binding-to-bind-to-property-of-a-parent-control.aspx

This gives the controls to bind the properties of its parent controls in any level. To bind the property of its parent control, we need to specify 2 arguments.
  1. Ancestor Type : Type of the control, for which we wants to access its property(Eg:StackPanel,Grid etc)
  2. Ancestor Level (Optional) : Level of the control to consider, when parents of same type available in multiple levels . Its default value will be 1.
