For any given property of any given object definable in XAML (thinking controls, animations etc), how can I determine which properties are bindable using WPF/Silverlight binding?
I understand I could just try it out each time and look for compile/runtime errors, but I presume there’s a precedent that would make it simpler (i.e. they’re all dependency properties).
I use intellisense for it.
Say I want to know wheter or not Background for TreeViewItem is bindable (is dependency property), I type TreeViewItem.Background in the code behind file and if a BackgroundProperty pops up then I know its bindable (it’ll also say DependencyProperty in the ToolTip just to be sure).
If I wanted to check IsLoaded instead there wouldn’t be an IsLoadedProperty since IsLoaded isn’t a dependency property.
But I agree, there has to be a better way
