In this video we look at XAML’s object element syntax that is used to declaratively represent instances of classes and their properties. We discuss at the XAML syntax itself noting how XAML elements map to WPF API classes. Also, we spend time talking about three ways WPF object instance properties are represented in XAML: via simple attributes, property element syntax (think:nesting elements representing properties) and markup extensions (curly brace syntax). We talk briefly about Attached Properties and how they work … by each WPF control implementing DependencyObject. (We’ll talk about this at length in another video.) Finally, we review the mapping of XAML to C# or VB code and how event handlers are invoked.
