How to bind the value of slider from C# code in windows phone 8.1..?

Question

Hi, I want to bind a custom seek bar to the position of media element.
I think from XAML we can achieve it by 
     Value="{Binding ElementName=mediaElement, Path=Position, Mode=TwoWay, Converter={StaticResource FormatConverter}}"
where FormatConverter is a converter class written to convert mediaElement object to slider value during binding.
But I am creating the media element from code, so I want to write C# code to achieve the above. How to do it..?

You can create the same binding in C# by instantiating a
Binding class and setting its Path, Source, etc. properties. See the remarks in the Binding class docs and
Creating bindings in code in the
Data binding with XAML docs.
That said, the Position updates significantly more frequently than you want to update the seek bar, so you may want to use polling rather than binding for this specific use (especially since you're already in the code behind rather than in the Xaml).
