Databind a dataContext on another Xaml window?

Question

In my main window.xaml i have a button which opens searchwindow.xaml

private void Search_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{

if (dt.Rows.Count > 0)
{

new SearchWindow(){DataContext = dt.DefaultView}.Show();
}

}

In the searchWindow.Xaml is there is button 'BIND' and a datagrid . I want to databind the data grid with the dat context table that has been sent from MainWindow.xaml on clicking the BIND button...How can i do it...Thank you

Just in case some one is searching for the answer...this is how i achieved Deaclaring the Datatable dtable was the crux of my solution . Code on The searchWidnow.Xaml public partial class SearchWindow : Window { public DataTable dtable { get; set; } public SearchWindow( ) { InitializeComponent(); } private void Window_Loaded(object sender RoutedEventArgs e) { // var dt = MainWindow.DataContextProperty; } private void bind_Click(object sender RoutedEventArgs e) { var dt = this.dtable; dGrid2.DataContext = dt.DefaultView; } Then on the mainwindow.xaml.cs page In the button click event that opens searcwindow.xaml if (dt.Rows.Count > 0) { SearchWindow searchWindow = new SearchWindow() { DataContext = dt.DefaultView }; searchWindow.dtable = dt; searchWindow.Show(); }
