bind item's children control in ItemsControl wpf

Question

i am binding an ItemsControl to a list, but in item template there is a control which is not binding by current dataSource, i want to bind it with another dataSource.

but i am stuck at accessing that control

my ItemsControl's dataTemplate is--->

<ItemsControl x:Name="ItemRequesterList" IsTabStop="False">
    <ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
         <DataTemplate x:Name="ItemReqTemplate">
             <StackPanel Margin="10,0,0,0">
                <TextBlock Text="{Binding DisplayName}"></TextBlock>
                <TextBlock Text="requested on"></TextBlock>
                <TextBlock Text="{Binding}"></TextBlock> //<---this control, i 
                                               //    want to bind with another dataSource
             </StackPanel> 
        </DataTemplate>

so how can i access this control, which is lie in each item ?

What is the relationship between the item in the 1st `DataSource` and the 2nd `DataSource`?? Index?? — sa_ddam213, Apr 20 '13 at 11:07
Where is the second data source? Is it static, part of parent DataContext, another control's DataContext? — Toni Petrina, Apr 20 '13 at 11:48
The answer depends on where the second data source is. There is no single solution to this problem. — Toni Petrina, Apr 20 '13 at 12:31
Use relative source and bind it to a controls DataContext.FirstName. — snowy hedgehog, Apr 20 '13 at 18:18

You could bind the DataContext of that control to some static resource, for example:

<TextBlock Text="{Binding}" DataContext="{StaticResource myOtherContext}"></TextBlock>

See the following:
