title: Design Time Data for Dependency Properties?
body: <p>I am building a <code>UserControl</code> that has several <code>DependencyProperties</code> that I use for the bindings of the XAML of the control.</p>
  
  <p>When I work with MVVM I normally create a design time ViewModel, because I find that way it is easier to setup the layout of my Views without having to run the application.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way to set <strong><code>design time</code></strong> data to my dependency properties in an UserControl?</p>
