        Read the original article
        Hit count: 270
        
private TextBlock _caption = new TextBlock();
public TextBlock Caption  
{  
    get { return _caption; }  
    set { _caption = value; }  
}
<l:CustomPanel>  
    <l:CustomPanel.Caption Text="Caption text" FontSize="18" Foreground="White" />  
</l:CustomPanel>
Gives me the following error:
Cannot set properties on property elements.
If I use:
<l:CustomPanel>  
    <l:CustomPanel.Caption>
        <TextBlock Text="Caption text" FontSize="18" Foreground="White" /> 
    </l:CustomPanel.Caption>
</l:CustomPanel>
My TextBlock shows up fine but it's nested inside another TextBlock like so, it even seems to add itself outside of the Caption property:
<l:CustomPanel>  
    <l:CustomPanel.Caption>
        <TextBlock>
             <InlineUIContainer>
                 <TextBlock Text="Caption text" FontSize="18" Foreground="White" /> 
             </InlineUIContainer>
        </TextBlock>
    </l:CustomPanel.Caption>
    <TextBlock>
         <InlineUIContainer>
             <TextBlock Text="Caption text" FontSize="18" Foreground="White" /> 
         </InlineUIContainer>
    </TextBlock>
</l:CustomPanel>
As you might have already guessed, what i'd like my code to do is to set my Caption property from XAML on a custom panel, if this is possible.
I've also tried the same code with a DependencyProperty to no avail.
So, anyone that can help me with this problem?
