How to get DependencyProperty from PropertyName in Runtime

Question

Hello,

How to get DependencyProperty from PropertyName in Runtime.

I want to write such code:

TextBox tbx = new TextBox();
tbx.SetValue(TextBox.TextProperty, "ssss");

more gerneral. I want to do something like that:

TextBox tbx; tbx.SetValue(GetDepenedencyPropertyFromPropertyName("Text"), "aaaaa")

Function

DependencyProperty GetDepenedencyPropertyFromPropertyName("Text") {}

should work in Release (not only in debug mode) mode. Is it possible to do such function in UWP.

Hi @BitSmithy ,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!

I think GetDepenedencyPropertyFromPropertyName is not a feasible method to find the correct DependencyProperty based on string, because it also needs to confirm the type of the control.

But even so, I still didn't find a suitable API to get the DependencyProperty in UWP. It is recommended that you use your original code tbx.SetValue(TextBox.TextProperty, "ssss");

Thank you.
