c# - property was already registered by 'FrameworkElement'

Question

I am writing two dependency properties and I keep getting the "[Property] was already registered by 'FrameworkElement'" error in the design window of VS11. Here is a snippet of my code

        public static readonly DependencyProperty IsEditingNumberProperty =
        DependencyProperty.Register("IsEditingNumbers", typeof(bool), typeof(FrameworkElement),
        new FrameworkPropertyMetadata(true, FrameworkPropertyMetadataOptions.AffectsRender));

the problem seems to be the 3rd parameter (owner parameter typeof(FrameworkElement)). If I set the 3rd parameter to the class the contains two dependency properties, the error goes away, but I cannot use the properties directly from xaml. I would have to add ownership for each dependency property before I use it.

Actually, It does render correctly, but only when I first open it. Immediately after the first render it will give me an exception. At runtime, it seems to work perfectly.

Am I doing something wrong and is there a way to get rid of this annoying error?

---- Edit -----

Here is my custom class (includes 2 of the Dependency Properties):

public partial class EditableTextBox : UserControl
{
    #region Dependency Properties
    public static readonly DependencyProperty IsEditingNumberProperty =
        DependencyProperty.Register("IsEditingNumber", typeof(bool), typeof(FrameworkElement),
        new FrameworkPropertyMetadata(true, FrameworkPropertyMetadataOptions.AffectsRender));

    public static readonly DependencyProperty TextProperty =
        DependencyProperty.Register("Text", typeof(string), typeof(FrameworkElement),
        new FrameworkPropertyMetadata("0", FrameworkPropertyMetadataOptions.AffectsRender) 
        { 
            CoerceValueCallback = new CoerceValueCallback((sender,value) =>
                {
                    return expressionRestaraint.Match((string)value).Value;
                })
        });
    #endregion

    public static Regex expressionRestaraint = new Regex("[-a-zA-z0-9+*.\(\)\[\]\{\}]*");

    public string Text
    {
        get { (string)GetValue(TextProperty); }
        set 
        { 
            SetValue(TextProperty, value);
            tbxValue.Text = (string)GetValue(TextProperty);
        }
    }

    public bool IsEditingNumber
    {
        get 
        { 
            return (bool)GetValue(IsEditingNumberProperty); 
        }
        set 
        {
            bool old = (bool)GetValue(IsEditingNumberProperty);
            if (old != value)
            {
                if (!value)
                    stopEditing();
                else
                    startEditing();

                SetValue(IsEditingNumberProperty, value);
            }
        }
    } . . .

Use in Main Class:

<Window x:Class="VisualMathExpression.MainWindow"
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    xmlns:edit="clr-namespace:VisualMathExpression.EditableTextBox"
    xmlns:all="clr-namespace:VisualMathExpression"
    Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525">
<StackPanel>
    <edit:EditableTextBox HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center"
                          Text="af" IsEditingNumber="True" /> . . .

--- Edit --- Wrapper fixed (problem that cause xaml property not to change when ownership belonged to the declared class)

    public partial class EditableTextBox : UserControl
{
    #region Dependency Properties
    public static readonly DependencyProperty IsEditingNumberProperty =
        DependencyProperty.Register("IsEditingNumber", typeof(bool), typeof(EditableTextBox),
        new FrameworkPropertyMetadata(true, FrameworkPropertyMetadataOptions.AffectsRender) 
        { 
            PropertyChangedCallback = new PropertyChangedCallback((sender, arg) =>
                {
                    EditableTextBox ed = sender as EditableTextBox;
                    if (!(bool)arg.NewValue)
                        ed.stopEditing();
                    else
                        ed.startEditing();
                }),
        });

    public static readonly DependencyProperty TextProperty =
        DependencyProperty.Register("Text", typeof(string), typeof(EditableTextBox),
        new FrameworkPropertyMetadata("0", FrameworkPropertyMetadataOptions.AffectsRender) 
        { 
            PropertyChangedCallback = new PropertyChangedCallback((sender,arg) =>
                {
                    EditableTextBox ed = sender as EditableTextBox;
                    ed.tbxValue.Text = arg.NewValue as string;

Answer 1

The third parameter ownerType of the DependencyProperty.Register method must be the class that declares the property.

If your class is MyClass the declaration would have to look like this:

public class MyClass : DependencyObject
{
    public static readonly DependencyProperty IsEditingNumberProperty =
        DependencyProperty.Register(
            "IsEditingNumber", typeof(bool), typeof(MyClass), ...);

    // CLR wrapper
    public bool IsEditingNumber
    {
        get { return (bool)GetValue(IsEditingNumberProperty); }
        set { SetValue(IsEditingNumberProperty, value); }
    }
}
