I saw something in the framework to create a regular shortcut, but not a My Network Place shortcut to a file in a Sharepoint site on our intranet.

WPF - Is there a good reason that Setter.Value isn't a ContentProperty?

Every time I write out a setter whose Value property value isn't describable inline, I curse the fact that the API doesn't mark the Setter class with [ContentProperty("Value")], which would allow this: <Setter Property="BitmapEffect"> <Setter.Value> <OuterGlowBitmapEffect GlowColor="#AAC" Opacity="0.2" GlowSize="1.25" /> </Sette...
