I have used content control with content={Binding}.. and contenttemplate as a datatemplate.. in that i have reffered the property which i want to bind from viewmodel).. but its not binding as such..

Sdry's right, you can also set the DataContext property of your view to your ViewModel.

Also, here's a WPF databinding cheat sheet that will likely come in handy: http://www.nbdtech.com/Free/WpfBinding.pdf

Set the datacontext of your view, with an instance of your viewmodel. Throughout your view you can then bind to the properties of your viewmodel with "Path" in the binding.
