	CheckAccess	Determines whether the calling thread has access to this object. (Inherited from DependencyObject.)
	ClearValue	Clears the local value of a dependency property. (Inherited from DependencyObject.)
	Equals(Object)	Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
	Finalize	Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before the Object is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetAnimationBaseValue	Returns any base value established for a Silverlight dependency property, which would apply in cases where an animation is not active. (Inherited from DependencyObject.)
	GetHashCode	Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetType	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetValue	Returns the current effective value of a dependency property from a DependencyObject. (Inherited from DependencyObject.)
	MemberwiseClone	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
	ReadLocalValue	Returns the local value of a dependency property, if a local value is set. (Inherited from DependencyObject.)

	CopyTo(Texture2D)	Overloaded. Copies a bitmap image to a texture. (Defined by BitmapSourceExtensions.)
	CopyTo(TextureCube, CubeMapFace)	Overloaded. Copies a bitmap image to a cube map face. (Defined by BitmapSourceExtensions.)
	CopyTo(Texture2D, Int32, Nullable<Rectangle>, Int32, Int32)	Overloaded. Copies a sub-region of bitmap to a sub-region of the texture. (Defined by BitmapSourceExtensions.)
