Visualstudio-docs: Add info about yellow/green borders around Bindings in Live Property Explorer

Created on 21 Aug 2018  Â·  4Comments  Â·  Source: MicrosoftDocs/visualstudio-docs

VS highlights bindings in the property explorer in Yellow or Green. I originally thought this had to do with the IsBindingValid property, but that doesn't appear to be the case. I can't seem to find any info about what the two colors are supposed to represent. Having them here in the docs would be helpful.

Here's what I have on this:
Yellow border means that the property value is set through a binding Color = {Binding xXXX}. Green border means that the value is set using a resource Color = {StaticResource XXXX}

I'll update the docs.

@michael-hawker Thanks! I'll try to find that info and get it in the doc.

Updating the docs would be great, however they don't appear where I think they would. I selected the control with the yellow binding and pressed F1. It took me to the following link which describes how to setup projects and solutions: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/ide/creating-solutions-and-projects?f1url=https%3A%2F%2Fmsdn.microsoft.com%2Fquery%2Fdev15.query%3FappId%3DDev15IDEF1%26l%3DEN-US%26k%3Dk(SolutionItemsProject);k(TargetFrameworkMoniker-.NETFramework,Version%3Dv4.7.2)%26rd%3Dtrue&view=vs-2017

A tooltip would be very valuable.

Updated doc with info about the yellow and green borders.

The F1 keyword passed is generic, so I get the default F1 help page. To get an F1 keyword added in the IDE for these windows, please use the Report a Problem tool to report the issue. When you do this, your report becomes part of the work items that are listed in the in the Visual Studio Developer Community, which allows you to engage directly with the engineering team while they address and fix the problem.
