Public method GetHashCode Serves as a hash function for the BindableAttribute class. (Overrides Attribute.GetHashCode().)
Public method GetType Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
Public method Match When overridden in a derived class, returns a value that indicates whether this instance equals a specified object. (Inherited from Attribute.)
Protected method MemberwiseClone Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
Public method ToString Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.)

Remarks

You can specify this attribute for multiple members, typically properties, on a control.

If a property has been marked with the BindableAttribute set to true, then a property change notification should be raised for that property. This means that if the Bindable property is Yes, then two-way data binding is supported. If Bindable is No, you can still bind to the property, but it should not be shown in the default set of properties to bind to, because it might or might not raise a property change notification.

NoteNote:

When you mark a property with BindableAttribute set to true, the value of this attribute is set to the constant member Yes. For a property marked with the BindableAttribute set to false, the value is No. Therefore, to check the value of this attribute in your code, you must specify the attribute as BindableAttribute.Yes or BindableAttribute.No.

Caution noteCaution:

You can use this attribute at design time only. Nothing prevents you from binding to any property during run time.

Examples

The following code example marks a property as appropriate to bind data to.

<Bindable(True)> _
Public Property MyProperty() As Integer
    Get
        ' Insert code here.
        Return 0
    End Get
    Set(ByVal value As Integer)
        ' Insert code here.
    End Set
End Property

Private Sub button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As RoutedEventArgs)

End Sub
[Bindable(true)]
public int MyProperty
{
    get
    {
        // Insert code here.
        return 0;
    }
    set
    {
        // Insert code here.
    }
}

private void button1_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{

}
