#161 – Read a Dependency Property’s Metadata

December 20, 2010 Leave a comment

You can read a dependency property’s metadata by using the DependencyProperty.GetMetadata method.

For example, assume that we have a Dog class with a BirthYear dependency property and that the class has exposed BirthYearProperty as a public member.  We can retrieve the property’s metadata as follows:

            Dog fido = new Dog("Fido");
            PropertyMetadata meta = Dog.BirthYearProperty.GetMetadata(fido);
