I'm struggling to understand Dependency Properties in Silverlight 2. Does anybody have a good explanation or link that clearly explains the DependencyObject and/or DependencyProperty?

I had already looked at that but didn't think that it explained it very well and hence my question here. I have voted your answer up though - thanks!

Could you rephrase your question? What are you actually asking?

I like this article that "Jesse Liberty - Silverlight Geek" blogged called: Dependency Property System – Deeper Dive Part 1.

It really explains the need for Dependency Properties and how to create your own, without having to read a novel to get what you need.

Jesse Liberty is a mine of information and tutorials when it comes to Silverlight - his blog is definitely recommended.
