wpf - Change border color depending on boolean value -

i have border wihch want alter color depending on boolean variable. used link here implement boolean color converter.

the code looks this:

the xaml:

<border width="45" height="45" cornerradius="5" background="{binding path=livenessactive, converter={staticresource brushcolorconverter}}" />

the livenessactive variable in background:

public bool livenessactive { { homecoming _livenessactive; } set { _livenessactive = value; onpropertychanged("livenessactive"); } }

where class has inheritance inotifypropertychanged , has implemented onpropertychanged event.

the brushcolorconverter.cs:

public class brushcolorconverter : ivalueconverter { public object convert(object value, type targettype, object parameter, cultureinfo culture) { if ((bool)value) { { homecoming new solidcolorbrush(colors.greenyellow); } } homecoming new solidcolorbrush(colors.darkgray); } public object convertback(object value, type targettype, object parameter, cultureinfo culture) { throw new notimplementedexception(); } }

but can't fire brushcolorconverter. i'm doing wrong?

2nd: if want utilize window?

<border width="45" height="45" cornerradius="5" background="{binding path=livenessactive, converter={staticresource brushcolorconverter}, relativesource={relativesource mode=findancestor, ancestortype={x:type view:mywindowname}}}" />

i used same code , it's not finding it.

to sum comments since there seems nil wrong code above suggest there problem binding context

background="{binding path=livenessactive, converter={staticresource brushcolorconverter}}"

you cannot reference 1 window window. if have 2 independent windows each border should trigger on same property alter set datacontext of both windows same instance of view model.
