Dependency Properties can be declared on any type inheriting from DependencyObject. In VisualStudio you can type the shortcutpropdp (and then press tab twice) to add a dependency property.

// Dependency Property Declaration
public static readonly DependencyProperty BackgroundProperty =
    DependencyProperty.Register("Background", typeof(Brush), typeof(MyControl),
    new FrameworkPropertyMetadata(Brushes.Transparent));

// Property Wrapper
public Brush Background
{
    get { return (Brush)GetValue(BackgroundProperty); }
    set { SetValue(BackgroundProperty, value); }
}
