What is the benefit of PriorityBinding?

PriorityBinding is excellent for handling asynchronous data. It lets you define a sequence of bindings where the UI displays the first one that successfully provides a value, allowing for 'loading' or 'cached' fallbacks.

How do I troubleshoot failed bindings in XAML?

This skill provides patterns for using PresentationTraceSources for high-level logging and a DebugConverter to trigger a debugger break during the binding process.

When should I use MultiBinding in WPF?

Use MultiBinding when a single UI property depends on multiple data sources. It allows you to combine these values using a StringFormat or a custom IMultiValueConverter.

Can I use logic like 'AND' or 'OR' inside WPF bindings?

Yes, by using MultiBinding combined with a specialized IMultiValueConverter (like an AllTrueConverter), you can implement complex boolean logic directly in your XAML.
