In Snoop, I can see that the RadioButtonList uses ListBoxItem.

Hi Jim,

Sorry but I'm not sure offhand what's causing it.  RadioButtonList inherits ListBox and is pretty simple itself, just effectively giving another style to the items.  In our demo of the control we don't see it happening.  It could just be some sort of timing thing with your bindings, especially if everything is displaying properly.

I am seeing this again, in a different project. I will email a video demonstrating it.

The binding errors refer to ListBoxItem, and a property being set in the default style, which points to the parent items control. Notice that the warnings only get emitted when I close the window.

If I point Snoop at the ListBoxItem, I can see that HorizontalContentAlignment is set correctly, via the style. If I leave the Snoop window open while I close my window, Snoop shows me that the binding gets broken somehow.
