Return Value
Type:
System.Windows..::.DependencyPropertyA dependency property identifier that should be used to set the value of a public static readonly field in your class. That identifier is then used to reference the dependency property later, for operations such as setting its value programmatically or obtaining metadata.
For more information on dependency property registration, see DependencyProperty.
The following example registers a dependency property, including a validation callback (the callback definition is not shown; for details on the callback definition, see ValidateValueCallback).
public static readonly DependencyProperty CurrentReadingProperty = DependencyProperty.Register(
"CurrentReading",
typeof(double),
typeof(Gauge),
new FrameworkPropertyMetadata(
Double.NaN,
FrameworkPropertyMetadataOptions.AffectsMeasure,
new PropertyChangedCallback(OnCurrentReadingChanged),
new CoerceValueCallback(CoerceCurrentReading)
),
new ValidateValueCallback(IsValidReading)
);
public double CurrentReading
{
get { return (double)GetValue(CurrentReadingProperty); }
set { SetValue(CurrentReadingProperty, value); }
}
