XamlObjectReaderSettings.RequireExplicitContentVisibility Property

Definition

Namespace:

System.Xaml

Assembly:

System.Xaml.dll

Gets or sets a value that determines whether writers that use the associated XamlObjectReader for context should use designer settings for writing content explicitly.

public:
 property bool RequireExplicitContentVisibility { bool get(); void set(bool value); };

public bool RequireExplicitContentVisibility { get; set; }

member this.RequireExplicitContentVisibility : bool with get, set

Public Property RequireExplicitContentVisibility As Boolean

Property Value

Boolean

true to specify that writers that use this context should use designer settings for writing any output content in cases where IsWritePublic reports false; false if designer settings should be ignored.

Remarks

This setting is queried internally. It influences the following behavior for the context that a XamlObjectReader passes to any XamlWriter:

• The RequireExplicitContentVisibility behavior only applies for properties where IsWritePublic is false, AND when a ShouldSerialize pattern is unavailable for the property value.

• If the statement in the first bullet point is true, AND RequireExplicitContentVisibility is true, then designer settings determine whether the property writes its output as content or the property is considered implicit. Access to designer settings is through internal APIs in .NET Framework XAML Services and is based on reading DesignerSerializationVisibilityAttribute from backing assemblies. In this case, the internal code checks for the value DesignerSerializationVisibility.Content and writes its output to the property. Otherwise, the content is considered implicit.

• If the statement in the first bullet is true, AND RequireExplicitContentVisibility is false, the property always writes its output, and DesignerSerializationVisibilityAttribute from backing assemblies is irrelevant.
