Question

I have the following code:

private static readonly DependencyProperty IDProperty = DependencyProperty.Register(
           "ID", typeof(int), typeof(DetailDataControl), new PropertyMetadata(-1, new PropertyChangedCallback(IDChanged)));

    public int ID
    {
        get { return (int)GetValue(IDProperty); }
        set { SetValue(IDProperty, value); }
    }

    private static void IDChanged(DependencyObject d, DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs e)
    {
         // Do something here!  
    }

I can see that when I change ID, the line SetValue(IPproperty is called), but it doesn’t call the IDChanged.

Why?

Answer 1

Your code is correct, however PropertyChanged callback will not be called until it has changed. Try changing the property to two different values in consecutive lines of code and have a break point you can see that it’s been hit. I believe it’s set to -1 and hence it isn’t called.
