C# – InvalidOperationException – A TwoWay or OneWayToSource binding cannot work on the read-only property

cdata-bindingmvvmwpfxaml

I'm using the MVVM pattern and am receiving the following when i run my app

InvalidOperationException
A TwoWay or OneWayToSource binding cannot work on the read-only property 'Options' of type 'ViewModel.SynergyViewModel'.

I have commented all my source out in my view model and have traced this back to a check box. If i comment out the the checkbox or the properity in my view model the app runs, minus the functionality. Below i have listed the code for my checkbox and the property within the viewmodel.

<CheckBox Grid.Column="4" HorizontalAlignment="Right" Margin="5,0,5,5" IsChecked="{Binding Options}" Content="Options"/>
private bool _Options;
public bool Options
{
    get
    {
        return _Options;
    }
    private set
    {
        if (_Options == value)
            return;

        _Options = value;
        OnPropertyChanged("Options");
    }
}

System.InvalidOperationException occurred
Message=A TwoWay or OneWayToSource binding cannot work on the read-only property 'Options' of type 'ViewModel.MyViewModel'.
Source=PresentationFramework
StackTrace:
at MS.Internal.Data.PropertyPathWorker.CheckReadOnly(Object item, Object info)
InnerException:

Any ideas on what i'm what i'm missing here?

Either make your setter public or explicitly set the Binding.Mode to OneWay.
