DesignItemProperty Class
Definition
Represents a property of a DesignItem. All changes done via the DesignItemProperty class are represented in the underlying model (e.g. XAML). All such changes are recorded in the currently running designer transaction (ChangeGroup), enabling Undo/Redo support. Warning: Changes directly done to control instances might not be reflected in the model.

Syntax
public abstract class DesignItemProperty : INotifyPropertyChangedProperties
| Category | Gets the category of the property. |
| CollectionElements | Gets the elements represented by the collection. |
| DeclaringType | Gets the type that declares the property. |
| DependencyFullName | Gets the full name of the dependency property. Returns the normal FullName if the property isn't a dependency property. |
| DependencyProperty | Gets the dependency property, or null if this property does not represent a dependency property. |
| DesignItem | Gets the parent design item. |
| FullName | Gets the full name of the property (DeclaringType.FullName + "." + Name). |
| IsAdvanced | Gets if this property is considered "advanced" and should be hidden by default in a property grid. |
| IsCollection | Gets if the property represents a collection. |
| IsEvent | Gets if the property represents an event. |
| IsSet | Gets if the property is set on the design item. |
| Name | Gets the property name. |
| ReturnType | Gets the return type of the property. |
| TextValue | Gets the string value of the property. This property returns null if the value is not set, or if the value is set to a non-primitive value (i.e. represented by a DesignItem, accessible through Value property). |
| TypeConverter | Gets the type converter used to convert property values to/from string. |
| Value | Gets the value of the property. This property returns null if the value is not set, or if the value is set to a primitive value. |
| ValueOnInstance | Gets/Sets the value of the property on the designed instance. If the property is not set, this returns the default value. |
| ValueOnInstanceOrView | Gets the View of the Value or the ValueOnInstance (e.g. a Content Property has a DesignItem if it's a Complex Object, if it's only a Text it only has ValueOnInstance) |
Methods
| InvokeValueChanged() | Invokes the ValueChanged event. |
| OnPropertyChanged(String) | Raises the Property changed Event for the specified Property |
| Reset() | Resets the property value to the default, possibly removing it from the list of properties. |
| SetValue(Object) | Sets the value of the property. |
Events
| IsSetChanged | Occurs when the value of the IsSet property changes. |
| PropertyChanged | It's raised when a property value changes. |
| ValueChanged | Is raised when the value of the property changes (by calling SetValue(Object) or Reset()). |
| ValueOnInstanceChanged | Is raised when the ValueOnInstance property changes. This event is not raised when the value is changed without going through the designer infrastructure. |
