Hi,<br />
<br />
I'm not sure you can set the ODP instance from within your provider. However, could you not combine your providers into a &nbsp;single provider and expose two properties, the recipients in one property and a property that indexes the recipients collection itself as your selected recipient? <br />

<div>
<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have the following setup.<br />
<br />
Case (object of type Case)<br />
---&gt; CaseNumber<br />
---&gt; GetRecipients() (returns a List&lt;Recipient&gt;<br />
<br />
Recipient<br />
---&gt; RecipientNumber<br />
---&gt; GetACWM() &nbsp; (returns one object of type ACWM)<br />
<br />
I have an ItemsControl that I am binding to Case (working fine), the DataTemplate for Case has an ItemsControl that I am binding to the GetRecipients() method (also working fine). &nbsp;This bind is working because I set the ObjectInstance of my ObjectDataProvider (for Case) in the code behind when the case is provided. &nbsp;I cannot do the same things for recipient because there are multiple recipients in a case. &nbsp;So, in the recipient DataTemplate I &nbsp;have an ObjectDataProvider (for Recipient). &nbsp;How can I set the ObjectInstance of this ODP to the current recipient being bound?<br />
<br />
I hope this was clear enough.

Case (object of type Case)
---> CaseNumber

Recipient
---> RecipientNumber
---> GetACWM()   (returns one object of type ACWM)

Binding to a method from a DataTemplate
