    Inherits ElementProperty
public class ElementReferenceProperty : ElementProperty
public ref class ElementReferenceProperty : public ElementProperty
public class ElementReferenceProperty extends ElementProperty

Remarks

The element reference property relies on the ElementViewModels registered with ElementLookup to create and monitor ElementReferences. This allows the property to provide a default value if the reference is not yet available and provide monitoring for name changes in the referenced item. ElementReferenceProperty provides SuggestedValues and HasSuggestedValues to support drop-down lists for selecting values. If the referenced item is available, the properties of that referenced item can be found through ChildProperties. Reference properties are automatically created by the use of the ReferenceAttribute on the ConfigurationElement. Note: The declaring property must have a String property type
