In this post we will discuss about XAML binding debugging ,a new feature available in Silverlight5 .Be sure that you read my last line carefully its XAML Data Binding debugging  not XAML debugging .

For any data driven application with declarative data binding, with in XAML ,this brand new feature is the significant in many ways.Personally I remember most of the time i used to skip XAML way of binding as it lacked debugging feature.Now with Silverlight 5 my previous approach will surely take a back seat and will allow me to consider both ways equally.
