Thanks Daniel,

I completely agree, I replied to Bill’s post on the WPF Disciples and the ideas started flowing out ….

[NotifyPropertyChanged] [CLRProperty("Name", string)] [CLRProperty("Age", int)] [CLRProperty("Sex", SexType)] public partial class Person { }

I might well explore this idea further. This approach conjures up similarities to AOP in my mind – when I used AOP in Java I favoured the use of annotations (i.e. attributes)to indicated point-cuts.

Regards, Colin E.

Great post Colin!
I like the attribute based approach. Nice one.

I don’t know about you, but each time I dwell on T4, a new idea comes to mind. So many possibilities!

Well done.

Cheers,
Daniel

Thanks for pointing that out Thomas, those files are not needed, however I have updated the .zip file so that the solution does not expect them to be there!

Many thanks, Colin E.

DependencyObjectTemplate.cs
DependencyObjects.xml
DependencyObject.xsd

are missing in the solution…
