Debugging Silverlight Bindings

I have a binding in Silverlight that is causing my application to exit. An unhandled exception is not throw; I just get a white screen.

I am not seeing anything from the binding engine in the output window.

Does anyone have any ideas for debugging this issue?

A: 

Very good blog post here about debugging WPF bindings, which I assume apply to Silverlight in most cases too.

Thanks for the response. I have read this article, but the binding engine in Silverlight isn't outputting anything.

Bad assumption: data binding tracing cannot be configured in Silverlight. It's strictly a WPF thing.

I suggest you use Karl Shiflett's Glimpse for Silverlight for that.

Also, I just "heard" Laurent Bugnion on twitter recommend using a mock Converter on a binding to figure out why it's failing. That's a good idea in case you're unsure as to what values are being fed to the binding.
