Public Sub SetResourceReference ( _
    dp As DependencyProperty, _
    name As Object _
)

Visual Basic (Usage)

Dim instance As FrameworkElement
Dim dp As DependencyProperty
Dim name As Object

public void SetResourceReference(
    DependencyProperty dp,
    Object name
)

Visual C++

public:
void SetResourceReference(
    DependencyProperty^ dp, 
    Object^ name
)

public void SetResourceReference(
    DependencyProperty dp,
    Object name
)

JScript

public function SetResourceReference(
    dp : DependencyProperty, 
    name : Object
)

XAML

You cannot use methods in XAML.

Parameters

dp: Type: System.Windows..::.DependencyProperty
The property to which the resource is bound.

name: Type: System..::.Object
The name of the resource.

Remarks

A resource reference is similar to the use of a DynamicResource Markup Extension in markup. The resource reference creates an internal expression that supplies the value of the specified property on a run-time deferred basis. The expression will be re-evaluated whenever the resource dictionary indicates a changed value through internal events, or whenever the current element is reparented (a parent change would change the dictionary lookup path).

Platforms

Windows Vista

The .NET Framework and .NET Compact Framework do not support all versions of every platform. For a list of the supported versions, see .NET Framework System Requirements.
