DependencyProperty Orientation problem
- by byte
I am learning WPF and am trying to create my first UserControl. My UserControl consists of
StackPanel
StackPanel contains a Label and TextBox
I am trying to create two Dependency Properties
Text for the Label
Orientation for the StackPanel - The orientation will affect the position of the Label and TextBox effectively
I have successfully created a Text dependency property and bind it to my UserControls . But when I created the Orientation property, I seem to get following error in get property
The as operator must be used with a reference type or nullable type ('System.Windows.Controls.Orientation' is a non-nullable value type)
public static DependencyProperty OrientationProperty = DependencyProperty.Register("Orientation", typeof(System.Windows.Controls.Orientation), typeof(MyControl), new PropertyMetadata((System.Windows.Controls.Orientation)(Orientation.Horizontal)));
public Orientation Orientation
{
get { return GetValue(OrientationProperty) as System.Windows.Controls.Orientation; }
set { SetValue(OrientationProperty, value); }
}
Appreciate your help.
