Dependency Property with Call-back and default value snippet

For me this is the way Microsoft should have created the DependencyProperty snippet from the beginning.
I use this one a lot and it has a placeholder for the default value and the call-back method I am even assigning the instance that called the call-back to a property in the snippet.

I hope you find it as useful as I do.

By the way, you can find more info about how creating and importing your code snippets here.
