My be extensible [PropertyChangedAttribute] ?? public MyNotifyPropertyChangedAttribute : PropertyChangedAttribute where T : INotifyPropertyChanged { override protected void OnPropertyChanged(T sender, string PropertyName) { if (sender.PropertyChanged != null) sender.PropertyChanged(sender, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(PropertyName)); } } ... [MyNotifyPropertyChangedAttribute] public object MyProperty {get;private set;} Hi Thomas,
why autoField? My be extensible [PropertyChangedAttribute] ??

public MyNotifyPropertyChangedAttribute : PropertyChangedAttribute where T : INotifyPropertyChanged
{
override protected void OnPropertyChanged(T sender, string PropertyName)
{
if (sender.PropertyChanged != null)
sender.PropertyChanged(sender,
new PropertyChangedEventArgs(PropertyName));
}
}

…

[MyNotifyPropertyChangedAttribute]
public object MyProperty {get;private set;}

public class Person:INotifyPropertyChanged
{

[AutoPropertyType(NotifyPropertyChanged)]
public string Name
{
get;
set;
}
}

I think what we got now is already close to too much. If we look at ruby we have a language that allows a developer write programs in a way it almost looks as if we are extending the language. Ideally, C# would reach such a state without having to add new keywords. In this case I also think that for saving one line of code, a language extension goes too far, even if that minuscule. My 5 cents :) Hi Thomas,
