Animated dots? No problem!

[Lutoslaw]

A simple "Dots" control:

Code behind:

(...)
public static DependencyProperty DotCountProperty = DependencyProperty.Register("DotCount", typeof (int), typeof (Dots),
new PropertyMetadata(3, OnDotCountChanged));

public static DependencyProperty AnimateProperty = DependencyProperty.Register("Animate", typeof (bool), typeof (Dots),
new PropertyMetadata(true));

public bool Animate
{
get { return (bool) GetValue(AnimateProperty); }
set { SetValue(AnimateProperty, value); }
}
private static void OnDotCountChanged(DependencyObject d, DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs e)
{
var dotContainer = (StackPanel)((Dots) d).FindName("dotsContainer");
dotContainer.Children.Clear();
var newValue = (int) e.NewValue;
for (int i = 0; i < newValue; i++)
{
dotContainer.Children.Add(new TextBlock
{
Text = ".",
Margin = new Thickness(1, 0, 1, 0)
});
}
}

public int DotCount
{
get { return (int) GetValue(DotCountProperty); }
set { SetValue(DotCountProperty, value); }
}
(...)

Is something wrong in my code? IMHO it's very straightforward.
