Proposal: Provide snippets/templates for DependencyProperty

[angelazhangmsft]

DependencyProperty standard 'propdp' template doesn't work. Add clear guidance and a VS Regex example to convert to the proper setup.

It should also be updated from the old one to use nameof instead of a hard-coded string:

public static readonly DependencyProperty ContentProperty =
            DependencyProperty.Register(nameof(Content), typeof(UIElement), typeof(Case), new PropertyMetadata(null));

@anawishnoff FYI

@angelazhangmsft Do we have docs currently that are lacking modern examples or is this a suggestion to draft up a new article about DependencyProperty?

@anawishnoff I think this is about the Visual Studio snippets that one can use to create a DependencyProperty.

@bpulliam do you know where the Visual Studio snippets for XAML live? Is this something that the Windows App SDK package can update or is it in VS iteself (this would work for all XAML flavors using this snippet anyway)? It'd be nice to use nameof and make it easier to refactor property names by not having a hard-coded string for dependency properties here.
