ExtensionsSetName(Material, String) Method

Sets Name property to Material. Note that if name is not correct for WPF, it can be corrected (name must start with a letter or the underscore character (_), and must contain only letters, digits, or underscores). In this case the SetName method will set the corrected name to the object and return false (in this case you can call GetName to get the corrected name). True is returned when the original name is set to the object.

Usage Note

Remarks

Sets Name property to Material.

Note that if name is not correct for WPF, it can be corrected (name must start with a letter or the underscore character (_), and must contain only letters, digits, or underscores). In this case the SetName method will set the corrected name to the object and return false (in this case you can call GetName to get the corrected name). True is returned when the original name is set to the object.

Though many objects in WPF does not have Name property (with public Name getters and setters), it is still possible to set value for the Name property with using a SetValue method on DependencyObjects:

C#
Copy
dependencyObjects.SetValue(FrameworkElement.NameProperty, name);

The value of the Name can than be read with:

C#
Copy
return dependencyObjects.GetValue(FrameworkElement.NameProperty) as string;

The SetName and GetName extension methods simplify setting the values on commonly used 3D objects.
