Value Type Duration is not allowed on property Dur

问题:

I am trying to do the following with an ordinary Windows Metro style application:

public class MyButton : Button
{
    public Duration Duration { get; set; }
}

<Grid>
    <local:MyButton Duration="0:0:0.2" />
</Grid>

But I receive the error: Value Type Duration is not allowed on property Duration in XAML

Any idea what I might be doing wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

回答1:

This is a bug in the Visual Studio 11 Beta XAML compiler. You cannot set user-defined value type properties via XAML.

This bug has been fixed and the fix should be present in the next release of Visual Studio 11.

For now my workaround has been to expose my duration properties as string...
