DependencyObject Constructor
Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.
Initializes a new instance of the DependencyObject class.
Namespace: System.Windows
Assembly: System.Windows (in System.Windows.dll)
Syntax
'Declaration
Protected Sub New
protected DependencyObject()
Remarks
This constructor exists so that DependencyObject can be used as an extension point and base class. Typically you would use a class such as Control as a base class instead, rather than DependencyObject, but for certain advanced scenarios extending DependencyObject is more appropriate.
