How can i bind the element name of a different grid column source

Question

I have a question regarding the binding element name from a DevExpress grid.

I have an example code:

<dxg:GridControl.Columns>
    <dxg:GridColumn  x:Name="colAccountCode" Header="Column 1" FieldName="Account_Id" Width="200">
        <dxg:GridColumn.EditSettings>
            <dxe:ComboBoxEditSettings AutoComplete="True" ImmediatePopup="True"
                ValueMember="Account_Id" DisplayMember="Account_Code" 
                ItemsSource="{Binding GetAccounts}"/>
        </dxg:GridColumn.EditSettings>
    </dxg:GridColumn>
    <dxg:GridColumn x:Name="colAccountName" Header="Column Name 1"  FieldName="Account_Id" AllowEditing="False" Width="200">
        <dxg:GridColumn.EditSettings>
            <dxe:ComboBoxEditSettings AutoComplete="True" ImmediatePopup="True"
                ValueMember="Account_Id" DisplayMember="Account_Name" 
                ItemsSource="{Binding GetAccounts}"/>
        </dxg:GridColumn.EditSettings>
    </dxg:GridColumn>
</dxg:GridControl.Columns>

My question is can I bind the ItemsSource property on Column 1 to the items source on Column Name 1, because it is basically the same data. I know there is a binding scheme called "binding by element name", but somehow I could not make it work with this one.

Thanks DmitryG first time using this StackOverflow caught up in creating the :P — jedi1983, Sep 24 '14 at 04:09
Bind the itemssource to a collection (with notification implementation) instead of to a method — Amin Budianto, Sep 24 '14 at 09:18
@AminBudianto the ItemsSource it self is an ObservableCollection so that means is a collection with notification implemented right?, can i just bind it one time on the column 1 and use element binding for the second items source based on the first column items source?. — jedi1983, Sep 24 '14 at 11:11
yea you can do something like this ItemsSource={Binding ElementName=colAccountCode, Path=ItemsSource} — Amin Budianto, Sep 25 '14 at 02:15
