Thread Safety

Any public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are safe for multithreaded operations. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.

Remarks

Apply NotifyParentPropertyAttribute to a property if its parent property should receive notification of changes to the property's values. For example, the Size property has two nested properties: height and width. These nested properties should be marked with NotifyParentPropertyAttribute(true) so they notify the parent property to update its value and display when the property values change.
