Namespace: System.Workflow.ComponentModel
Assembly: System.Workflow.ComponentModel (in system.workflow.componentmodel.dll)

'Declaration
Public Sub SetValue ( _
	dependencyProperty As DependencyProperty, _
	value As Object _
)
'Usage
Dim instance As DependencyObject
Dim dependencyProperty As DependencyProperty
Dim value As Object

instance.SetValue(dependencyProperty, value)
public void SetValue (
	DependencyProperty dependencyProperty, 
	Object value
)
public function SetValue (
	dependencyProperty : DependencyProperty, 
	value : Object
)
Not applicable.

Parameters

dependencyProperty

The DependencyProperty to be set.

value

The Object to set the value to.

SetBinding sets a binding for the dependency property.

SetValue sets a value directly to the DependencyProperty (similarly AddHandler adds a handler directly to properties of type event).

These methods are exclusive when they are called for the same property. If SetBinding is called, then the values previously set using SetValue (AddHandler in events) are disregarded. The same is true the other way around: SetValue (AddHandler) resets the binding assigned with SetBinding.

The following code shows how a dependency property is set within a dependency object using SetValue.

public string To
{
    get
    {
        return ((string)(base.GetValue(SendEmailActivity.ToProperty)));
    }
    set
    {
        base.SetValue(SendEmailActivity.ToProperty, value);
    }
}
