How Do I Declare a New Property for a UserControl?

[That Asian Guy]

I tried it the traditional C# way of:

public String test
{
get
{
return "hi";
}
set
{
button1.Content = value;
}
}

But the WPF designer didn't seem to be able to detect it, although I could still do it programatically. What's the proper way of declaring a new property for a control? Thanks.

It does show up in XAML. What exactly are you referring to ?

If you want it to take part in binding(as a target specifically),styles,animations etc. you might want to implement it as a DependencyProperty[^]
