Well, you must have been surprised to see this title. Yes, WPF comes with a completely new technique of defining a property of a control. The unit of the new property system is a Dependency property and the wrapper class which can create a Dependency property is called aDependencyObject. We use it to register a Dependency property into the property system to ensure that the object contains the property in it and we can easily get or set the value of those properties whenever we like. We even use normal CLR property to wrap around a dependency property and use GetValue and SetValue to get and set values passed within it.
This is almost the same as CLR property system. So, what are the advantages of the new property system. Let's see the difference between Dependency property and CLR property.
To work with dependency property, you must derive the class from DependencyObject as the whole observer which holds the new Property System is defined within the DependencyObject.
