is there an equivalent for WPF ContentPropertyAttribute in Silverlight clr?

I mean I'm creating some custom control. the control contains a custom children collection. I want the xaml reader to add xaml children to that collection. so instead of

<control> 

<control.children>

<child1 /> 

<child2 />

<child3 />

<control.children>

</control>

I want to be able to write  

<control> 

<child1 /> 

<child2 />

<child3 />

 Hm.... Im wondering then how does XamlReader know that it should add <Canvas>'s xaml tag children to Canvas.Children collection?

The restriction only applies to custom controls, not to Silverlight native objects.

I've got this to work before.  What I did is import the right namespaces, create a dependency property for the children collection "Collection(of Child)" and decorate the class with the ContentProperty attribute and point it to your collection property name.

Imports System.ComponentModel
Imports System.Windows.Markup

<ContentProperty("Children")> _
Public Class Parent

Yes, the ContentPropertyAttribute now exists. It didn't back when this thread was active since that was the 1.1 days.
