I am writing some User Controls for a WPF application and needed a quick way to create my Dependency Properties for my control.
Below is the code snippet.
First element is the type, next the Property Name, then the Containing Class name (you need this for the Dependency Property Registration call.

<Code Language="csharp"><![CDATA[
public $type$ $property$
{
get { return ($type$)this.GetValue($property$Property); }
set { this.SetValue($property$Property,value); }
}
public static readonly DependencyProperty $property$Property =
DependencyProperty.Register(
"$property$", typeof($type$), typeof($className$));
$end$]]>
</Code>
</Snippet>
</CodeSnippet>

The snippet will generate out code like this:
public string AddressLine1
{
get { return (string)this.GetValue(AddressLine1Property); }
set { this.SetValue(AddressLine1Property, value); }
}
public static readonly DependencyProperty AddressLine1Property =
DependencyProperty.Register(
"AddressLine1", typeof(string), typeof(Address));
