Inheritance Hierarchy
System..::.Object
  System.Windows..::.DependencyObjectType

Namespace: System.Windows
Assembly: WindowsBase (in WindowsBase.dll)
Syntax
Public Class DependencyObjectType
public class DependencyObjectType
public ref class DependencyObjectType
type DependencyObjectType =  class end

The DependencyObjectType type exposes the following members.

Properties
 NameDescription
Public propertyBaseTypeGets the DependencyObjectType of the immediate base class of the current DependencyObjectType.
Public propertyIdGets a zero-based unique identifier for constant-time array lookup operations.
Public propertyNameGets the name of the represented common language runtime (CLR) system type.
Public propertySystemType Gets the common language runtime (CLR) system type represented by this DependencyObjectType.

Methods
 NameDescription
Public methodEquals(Object)Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
Protected methodFinalizeAllows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.)
Public methodStatic memberFromSystemTypeReturns a DependencyObjectType that represents a given system (CLR) type.
Public methodGetHashCodeReturns the hash code for this DependencyObjectType. (Overrides Object..::.GetHashCode()()().)
Public methodGetTypeGets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
Public methodIsInstanceOfTypeDetermines whether the specified object is an instance of the current DependencyObjectType.
Public methodIsSubclassOfDetermines whether the current DependencyObjectType derives from the specified DependencyObjectType.
Protected methodMemberwiseCloneCreates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
Public methodToStringReturns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.)

Remarks

DependencyObjectType represents a specific underlying system (CLR) Type of a DependencyObject. DependencyObjectType is essentially a wrapper for the (CLR) Type so that it can extend some of its capabilities.

This class has no public constructor. Instances of this class can only be obtained through properties on other objects (such as DependencyObject..::.DependencyObjectType), or through the static method FromSystemType.
