Represents a dependency property that is registered with the Silverlight dependency property system. Dependency properties provide support for value expressions, data binding, animation, and property change notification.
Public Class DependencyProperty
Dim instance As DependencyProperty
public class DependencyProperty
public ref class DependencyProperty
If you want properties on your custom types to support value expressions, data binding, or animation, you should back these CLR properties with a dependency property following these guidelines and procedures:
Register a dependency property using the Register method; this method returns a DependencyProperty, which you should store as an accessible static read-only field in your class. By convention, the name of this DependencyProperty identifier field should end with Property, and this convention is followed by all dependency properties implemented in Silverlight (and WPF). For example, the Control..::.Background dependency property is identified by the Control..::.BackgroundProperty field.
Provide CLR accessors for the property.
