TemplateBinding + SIlverlight 4 + Default Style - silverlight-4.0

Question

I have written a content control with an Int Dependency Property in the content Control.
The Control has a default style which contains the Template for the control.
Now the problem i face is, No matter what the dependency property's value is , when rendered it always shows me a zero
Here's the sample Code snippet:
<ControlTemplate x:Key="ControlTemplate2" TargetType="My:Control">
<Grid x:Name="grid" Width ="128" Height="128>
<StackPanel HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center" Orientation="Horizontal" Grid.Row="1">
<TextBlock x:Name="tbxTileCount" DataContext="{TemplateBinding TileCount}"
Text="{Binding}" Margin="10,0,0,0"
Foreground="White" VerticalAlignment="Center" FontSize="48" FontFamily="Segoe WP">
<TextBlock.RenderTransform>
<CompositeTransform/>
</TextBlock.RenderTransform>
</TextBlock>
</StackPanel>
</Grid></Grid></ControlTemplate>
/// <summary>
/// Count to be displayed
/// </summary>
public int Count
{
get { return (int)GetValue(CountProperty); }
set { SetValue(CountProperty, value); }
}
public static readonly DependencyProperty CountProperty =
DependencyProperty.Register("Count",
typeof(int),
typeof(Control),
null);
Eventhough the dependency property is set to default value, the DataContext of the textblock is set to 0
What have i missed here?

I could get this to work.
Here's how I got it to work :
Apparently For Silverlight 4, This is the way you associate control properties to the default Template.
<ControlTemplate x:Key="ControlTemplate2" TargetType="My:Control">
<Grid x:Name="grid" Width ="128" Height="128>
<StackPanel HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center" Orientation="Horizontal" Grid.Row="1">
<TextBlock x:Name="tbxTileCount" Text="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource TemplatedParent},Path=Count}"
Margin="10,0,0,0" Foreground="White" VerticalAlignment="Center" FontSize="48" FontFamily="Segoe WP">
<TextBlock.RenderTransform>
<CompositeTransform/>
</TextBlock.RenderTransform>
</TextBlock>
</StackPanel>
</Grid>
</ControlTemplate>
