Dear all:
I have created a custom control with new dependency property (TagToSet) of type MyTag(id, name, value).
After adding this control to my window design, and going to the properties to set the value of the new dependency property. Here I want to open a dialog to select the Tag that I want (like the case when the dependency property is collection).
note: the Tag property is not a collection, and the required dialog should connect to a WCF service to list the available tag.
Thanks

Dependency property is just the property implemented using DependencyProperty mechanism. You can set it or read it in exact same way as any other property. What's the problem?

After designing the control, I want to add it to a new window, here I want to assign a value to the property that I had added. this value should be selected from a dialog connected to a WCF service Like in the images in this question

Is it the System.Windows.Forms.ProperyGrid? The techniques are very different from WPF, and customization of this control is pretty tricky...

It is something like DialogPropertyValueEditor

Ah, System.Activities.Presentation.PropertyEditing.DialogPropertyValueEditor...
So, what's the problem?

I have already found this, but have not succeeded to build an example yet,
I have followed this article http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb546930.aspx
but it is for the inline editor, when changing it to a dialog it does not appear

You are right, But there is no available example about what I want, and there were no answer to my question, so I am trying to find the best solution to write the answer to my own question.
Thanks for all your replies.
