WPF Bind c# class to static resource

Question

I have a xaml toolbar:




    
    
        
            
            
                
                
                
            
        
    

    
    
        
            
                
                
            
            
                
                    
                    
                
                Text font size:
                
            
            
                
                    
                    
                
                Arrows:

Which is show in main window as:

And a class that implements the corresponding commands and evenhandlers:

public class ApplicationToolbar : Control
{
    public static PathFinderType PathFinderType = PathFinderType.Straight;

    public static RoutedEventHandler RoutedEvent = LoadFontSizes;
    public static TextChangedEventHandler SelectionChangedEvent = FontSizeChanged;
    public static RoutedEventHandler ArrowsComboboxLoaded = ArrowsComboboxLoadedHandler;
    public static SelectionChangedEventHandler ArrowsComboboxSelectionChanged = ArrowsComboboxSelectionChangedHandler;

    public static RoutedCommand Group = new RoutedCommand();
    public static RoutedCommand Ungroup = new RoutedCommand();
    //etc
    public static RoutedCommand Redo = new RoutedCommand();
    private readonly IDesignerCommandsReceiver _receiver;

    public ApplicationToolbar()
    {
        var designer = FindChild(Application.Current.MainWindow, "DesignerCanvas");
        _receiver = new DesignerCommandsReceiver(designer);
        AddCommandBindings();
        AddCommandGestures();
    }
    private void AddCommandBindings()
    {
        CommandBindings.Add(new CommandBinding(ApplicationCommands.New, New_Executed));

        // some more bindings

        CommandBindings.Add(new CommandBinding(Redo, Redo_Executed, Redo_Enabled));
    }
    private static void AddCommandGestures()
    {
        SelectAll.InputGestures.Add(new KeyGesture(Key.A, ModifierKeys.Control));
        Undo.InputGestures.Add(new KeyGesture(Key.Z, ModifierKeys.Control));
        Redo.InputGestures.Add(new KeyGesture(Key.Y, ModifierKeys.Control));
    }
    private void New_Executed(object sender, ExecutedRoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        _receiver.New();
    }        

    // other commands implementations

    private void Redo_Enabled(object sender, CanExecuteRoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        e.CanExecute = StateSaver.Instance.IsRedoAvailable();
    }

    public static void ArrowsComboboxLoadedHandler(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {

    }
    private static void ArrowsComboboxSelectionChangedHandler(object sender, SelectionChangedEventArgs selectionChangedEventArgs)
    {

    }

    // other event handlers     
}
public enum PathFinderType
{
    Straight,
    Ambient,
    Polygon
}

How do I bind this class to the xaml presentation? I tried to use ContentPresenter with specified DataContext, but it doesn't work:

Update The ApplicationToolbar.xaml is now:



    
//similar code

And it's printed out as:

Still haven't achieved commands to work <- The issue was solved by putting all commands related code back to designer class. I suppose that CommandBindings are supposed to be added to CommandBindingsCollection of designer object, and not application toolbar.

Try something like this:

The Content property of a ContentPresenter is supposed to be set to an instance of the DataContext/ViewModel and the ContentTemplate to a DataTemplate that defines the appearance of this object.
