Examples

The following example shows how to register a DependencyProperty for use by a DependencyObject. This code example is part of the Send Email SDK Sample and is from the SendMailActivity.cs file. For more information, see Send Mail Activity.

// Define the DependencyProperty objects for all of the Properties
// ...and Events exposed by this activity
public static DependencyProperty FromProperty = DependencyProperty.Register("From", typeof(string), typeof(SendEmailActivity), new PropertyMetadata("someone@example.com"));
public static DependencyProperty ToProperty = DependencyProperty.Register("To", typeof(string), typeof(SendEmailActivity), new PropertyMetadata("someone@example.com"));

' Define the DependencyProperty objects for all of the Properties 
' ...and Events exposed by me activity
Public Shared FromEmailProperty As DependencyProperty = DependencyProperty.Register("From", GetType(String), GetType(SendEmailActivity), New PropertyMetadata("someone@example.com"))
Public Shared ToProperty As DependencyProperty = DependencyProperty.Register("To", GetType(String), GetType(SendEmailActivity), New PropertyMetadata("someone@example.com"))

Register(String, Type, Type, PropertyMetadata)
