Dependency properties support three use cases. First, if an instance property of an activity is implemented by using a dependency property, that property can be assigned an ActivityBind instead of an actual value. Second, activity properties that are metadata (that is, the value cannot change at run time) should be implemented by using dependency properties, specifying the Metadata option. Third, dependency properties support attached properties, which are properties that are applied to dependency objects dynamically.
The following example shows how a DependencyObject declares for use a DependencyProperty. by registering the property This code example is part of the Send E-mail SDK sample and is from the SendMailActivity.cs file. For more information, see Send Mail Activity.
// Define the DependencyProperty objects for all of the Properties // ...and Events exposed by this activity public static DependencyProperty FromProperty = DependencyProperty.Register("From", typeof(string), typeof(SendEmailActivity), new PropertyMetadata("email@example.com")); public static DependencyProperty ToProperty = DependencyProperty.Register("To", typeof(string), typeof(SendEmailActivity), new PropertyMetadata("firstname.lastname@example.org"));
