Hello everyone!

I have a question about Custom UserControl binding properties. To be more specific, I've created a simple class like this one.

 public partial class LinearGradBrush : UserControl
    {
        public LinearGradBrush()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

        class LinearGradBrushProp : DependencyObject
        {
            public static DependencyProperty _background;

            static void BackgroundBrush()
            {
                _background = DependencyProperty.Register("_background", typeof(Brush), typeof(LinearGradBrushProp));
            }

            [Description("CuloareBG"), Category("Z")]
            public Brush Background
            {
                get { return (Brush)GetValue(_background); }
                set { SetValue(_background, value); }
            }
        }
    }

After I've searched all over the Internet I couldn't find the right answer so please, I want to ask you why I don't see in my DesignView the category Z with a brush in it.

Do you want to see your dependency property in the Property Window in Visual Studio?

[Andrei95]

Yes, exactly!

I think this is what your looking for.

Dependency Property

[Andrei95]

Yes, that was perfect, thank you

Now my property looks something like this and it works perfectly fine:

 public static readonly DependencyProperty BGColor = DependencyProperty.Register("Background", typeof(Brush), typeof(UserControl1));
        [Description("BTNColor"), Category("Colors")]
        public Brush Background
        {
            get { return (Brush)GetValue(BGColor); }
            set { SetValue(BGColor, value); }
        }
