Clearing the property value by calling ClearValue does not necessarily give a dependency property the default value that is specified in the dependency property metadata. Clearing the property only specifically clears whatever local value may have been applied. For more information, see Dependency Property Value Precedence.
The following example iterates all properties that have local values set on an object, then calls ClearValue to clear the values of each such property.
Private Sub RestoreDefaultProperties(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As RoutedEventArgs) Dim uic As UIElementCollection = Sandbox.Children For Each uie As Shape In uic Dim locallySetProperties As LocalValueEnumerator = uie.GetLocalValueEnumerator() While locallySetProperties.MoveNext() Dim propertyToClear As DependencyProperty = locallySetProperties.Current.Property If Not propertyToClear.ReadOnly Then uie.ClearValue(propertyToClear) End If End While Next End Sub
