DependencyProperty from string
How do I convert a property name (in string) to a DependencyProperty ? I have a set of property names, its values in string and a DependencyObject . Now I want to set these property values to the DependencyObject . Any idea on how this can be achieved? Thanks. You can get DependencyPropertyDescriptor using DependencyPropertyDescriptor.FromName method and then get dependency property identifier from this descriptor. var descriptor = DependencyPropertyDescriptor.FromName( propertyName, dependencyObject.GetType(), dependencyObject.GetType()); // now you can set property value with descriptor
