DependencyPropertyGenerator 0.9.0

DependencyPropertyGenerator

Dependency property source generator for WPF/UWP/WinUI/Uno platforms.

Install

Install-Package DependencyPropertyGenerator // Generator
Install-Package DependencyPropertyGenerator.Core // Attributes

Usage

using DependencyPropertyGenerator;
using System.Windows;
using System.Windows.Controls;

namespace H.Generators.IntegrationTests;

[DependencyProperty<bool>("IsSpinning", DefaultValue = true)]
public partial class MainWindow : Window
{
    static partial void OnIsSpinningChanged(MainWindow sender, DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs args)
    {
    }
}

[AttachedDependencyProperty<object>("SelectedItem", BrowsableForType = typeof(TreeView), BindsTwoWayByDefault = true)]
public static partial class TreeViewExtensions
{
    static partial void OnSelectedItemChanged(TreeView sender, DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs args)
    {
    }
}

will generate:

    }

Notes

To use generic attributes, you need to set up LangVersion in your .csproj:

<LangVersion>preview</LangVersion>

There are also non-Generic attributes here.
