# How to: Clear Bindings
This example shows how to clear bindings from an object.  
  
## Example  
 To clear a binding from an individual property on an object, call <xref:System.Windows.Data.BindingOperations.ClearBinding%2A> as shown in the following example. The following example removes the binding from the <xref:System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock.TextProperty> of *mytext*, a <xref:System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock> object.  
  
 [!code-csharp[CodeOnlyBinding#ClearBinding](~/samples/snippets/csharp/VS_Snippets_Wpf/CodeOnlyBinding/CSharp/binding.cs#clearbinding)]
 [!code-vb[CodeOnlyBinding#ClearBinding](~/samples/snippets/visualbasic/VS_Snippets_Wpf/CodeOnlyBinding/VisualBasic/App.vb#clearbinding)]  
  
 Clearing the binding removes the binding so that the value of the dependency property is changed to whatever it would have been without the binding. This value could be a default value, an inherited value, or a value from a data template binding.  
  
 To clear bindings from all possible properties on an object, use <xref:System.Windows.Data.BindingOperations.ClearAllBindings%2A>.
