How to do it...

Perform the following steps to create the model and dependency property, and bind the data to the UI controls, so that, when a change happens in underlying data, it automatically reflects in the UI:

1. First, we need to create a data model. From Solution Explorer, right-click on the project and navigate to the context menu entry Add | Class... and create a class file called Person.cs.
2. Replace the content of the Person class with the following three properties:

public class Person 
{ 
    public string Name { get; set; } 
    public string Blog { get; set; } 
    public int Experience { get; set; } 
} 

3. Go to Solution Explorer once again and double-click to open the MainWindow.xaml.cs file. Create a dependency property named PersonDetails and set its data type as Person. Also, set its default value to null as shared here:

public Person PersonDetails 
{ 
    get { return (Person)GetValue(PersonDetailsProperty); } 
    set { SetValue(PersonDetailsProperty, value); } 
}
