In a user control I am using the RelativeSource to bind to the command of the DataContext of the hosting window. I have used the d:DataContext to specify the type of the DataContext in both the User Control and the hosting window.
In the Command Binding I could specify the type of the hosting window using AncerstorType, but I can't see any way to specify the type of its DataContext. It would be nice to have a design time warning in case the property of that DataContext is mistyped or do not exist, and to eliminate the squiggly blue underlines.
I would like to be warned at compile time if I refer to a non-existent property [See Comment]
