Class ContentPropertyAttribute

Namespace
Icy.Markup
Assembly
IcyUI.dll

Designates the property that a type's markup child elements and bare text are written into, letting markup omit the property name entirely.

[AttributeUsage(AttributeTargets.Class, Inherited = true)]

Remarks

With [ContentProperty(nameof(Panel.Children))] on Panel, this markup: 

<StackPanel>
  <TextBlock>Hello</TextBlock>
</StackPanel>

adds the TextBlock to Children without naming it. The content property's kind decides what happens: an IList has children added to it, and anything else is assigned a single child - a second child is then an error.

The attribute is inherited, so a type only declares its own when it differs from its base's.
