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
Imports System
Namespace myLibrary
Public Class MyExtension
Inherits MarkupExtension
Public Sub New()
End Sub
Public Sub New(ByVal value1 As Object)
Value1 = value1
End Sub
<ConstructorArgument("value2")> ' Noncompliant
Public Property Value1 As Object
End Class
End Namespace
Compliant solution
Imports System
Namespace MyLibrary
Public Class MyExtension
Inherits MarkupExtension
Public Sub New()
End Sub
Public Sub New(ByVal value1 As Object)
Value1 = value1
End Sub
<ConstructorArgument("value1")>
Public Property Value1 As Object
End Class
End Namespace
