Vista - Binding properties of two elements on a canvas

A canvas has two rectangles, one of which can be moved by means of a
slider. Is it possible to let the second follow the first by binding to
the 'Canvas.Left' of the rectangle?

The line
<Binding ElementName="rec" Path="Canvas.Left">
seems to be accepted in XAMLPad but does not produce the expected
result.

<Slider Margin="5,5,5,5" Name="slider2"
DockPanel.Dock="Top" Maximum="1000"
Minimum="10" />
<Label Content="{Binding ElementName=slider2,
Path=Value}"></Label>
</StackPanel>
</StackPanel>
<Rectangle
Width="50"
Height="50"
Fill="yellow"
Canvas.Left="{Binding ElementName=slider2, Path=Value}"
Canvas.Bottom="325"
Name="rec"
/>

<Rectangle
Width="50"
Height="50"
Fill="Red"
Canvas.Top="120"

<Canvas.Left>
<Binding ElementName="rec" Path="Canvas.Left"> <!--- this is allowed
but does not work... */ -->

</Binding>
</Canvas.Left>
</Rectangle>
</Canvas>
</Page>


[Thanks]

Instead of Path="Canvas.Left" use Path="(Canvas.Left)"
