Hi Rob,
Yes, I know, but my question is what can I do instead when I need this functionality?
I've just solved a
problem in a Custom Control I'm building by using SetCurrentValue. Unfortunately because this is not available in Silverlight or WinRT, it means on both these platforms I either need consumers of this control to live with the bug (unacceptable), or develop
a workaround.
In this specific case I was able to workaround by using a Binding in code, but sometimes that is not possible. Sometimes you need to just 'set a DependencyProperty value' without overwriting the ValueSource (which is what SetCurrentValue does).
I'd like to request Microsoft puts this at least in their WinRT framework. Else it will be very hard to port controls to this platform.
Best regards,
Andrew
