After v1.5.0:

First tries to access AutomationProperties. If no automation property with such name exists, then (if allowed) tries to access dependency property If no dependency with such name exists, then (if allowed) tries to access public CLR property. Nested public property can be accessed using dot syntax, e.g., for "Background.Opacity".

Access level is controlled by commandSettings.elementAttributeSettings.accessModifier capability.

Enums serialization strategy is controlled by commandSettings.elementAttributeSettings.enumAsString capability.

To access Automation Properties the name of property, examples:

• AutomationProperties.AutomationId
• AutomationProperties.Name

To access Dependency Properties the name of the property, examples:

• IsReadOnly

In v1.5.0:

First tries to access AutomationProperties. If no automation property with such name exists, then tries to access public property. Nested public property can be accessed using dot syntax, e.g., for "Background.Opacity".

List of automation properties can found on MSDN. When accessing AutomationProperties, property name should be specified with Property post-fix, e.g. AutomationIdProperty.

Before v.1.5.0:

Tries to access public property. Nested public property can be accessed using dot syntax, e.g., for "Background.Opacity".

Returns scalar and string attributes as plain string, returns non-scalar attributes (e.g., List<>, Dictionary<>, etc.) serialized as JSON string.
