Why is this an issue?
When creating a custom Markup Extension that accepts parameters in WPF, the ConstructorArgument
markup must be used to identify the
discrete properties that match these parameters. However since this is done via a string, the compiler will not notice if there are typos.
This rule raises an issue when the string argument to ConstructorArgumentAttribute
doesn’t match any parameter of any constructor.
Noncompliant code example
using System;
namespace myLibrary
{
public class MyExtension : MarkupExtension
{
public MyExtension() { }
public MyExtension(object value1)
{
Value1 = value1;
}
[ConstructorArgument("value2")] // Noncompliant
public object Value1 { get; set; }
}
}
Compliant solution
using System;
namespace myLibrary
{
public class MyExtension : MarkupExtension
{
public MyExtension() { }
public MyExtension(object value1)
{
Value1 = value1;
}
[ConstructorArgument("value1")]
public object Value1 { get; set; }
}
}
