I have declared a dependency property and want to set its value to an interface. I am geting a parser error. Is what I am trying to acomplish possible in Silverlight 2? If so, how would I go about doing it?

 Thanks :)

What do you mean by "set its value to an interface", can you elaborate any further?

An interface could mean a lot of things :)

Composition. Say I created a dependency property "Vehicle" and want to set its type to IVehicle.

Here is an example.

    Public Shared ReadOnly VehicleProperty As DependencyProperty = DependencyProperty.Register("Vehicle", GetType(IVehicle), GetType(MyClass), New Windows.PropertyMetadata(Nothing))
    Public Property Vehicle() As IVehicle
        Get
            Return GetValue(VehicleProperty)
        End Get
        Set(ByVal value As IVehicle)
            SetValue(VehicleProperty, value)
        End Set
    End Property
