Remarks

The scenario for PropertyChangedCallback is to use the arguments to report old and new values that come from the property system evaluation of the property. A callback that processes old and new values might choose special handling depending on these values. Some example scenarios include:

Choosing to not respond to value changes that are deemed insignificant.
Rejecting property changes that fail a property-specific or circumstantial validation.
Checking/setting other property values that exist in a dependency relationship with the property that changed.
Raising an event from the class.
