✅ How do you control which WPF property is the default for that class?

Examine the following XAML:

<SomeClass>
  PropertyValue
</SomeClass>
<OtherClass>
  <OtherClass.Property>
    PropertyValue
  </OtherClass.Property>
</OtherClass>

<SomeClass>
  PropertyValue
</SomeClass>
<OtherClass>
  <OtherClass.Property>
    PropertyValue
  </OtherClass.Property>
</OtherClass>

SomeClass

SomeClass

where derived from

System.Windows.Controls.Control

System.Windows.Controls.Control

, the property being set would be

Content

Content

. But in other WPF classes, it might be something like

Text

Text

. How do I specify my class's default property? The only thing I can find is for Windows Forms. Google happily found results for the default value, but I don't need that. I want the second example in the source above to resemble the first.

In this case, I am deriving from

System.Windows.Controls.UserControl

System.Windows.Controls.UserControl

, but as an

abstract

abstract

class. I don't want the derived class setting

Content

Content

as that would mess up the base class.
