Attached properties

Attached properties are properties that are defined on a type but are intended to be used with instances of other types. In Sharp.UI, attached properties are matched with attached property fluent methods, allowing you to set their values in a more readable and fluent manner.

For example, if you want to set the AbsoluteLayout.LayoutBounds attached property on a Border object, you would create an instance of Border and then use the AbsoluteLayoutBounds fluent method to set its value, like this:

new Border
{
    // ...
}.AbsoluteLayoutBounds(new Rect(100, 100, 200, 200));

This would set the AbsoluteLayout.LayoutBounds attached property to the specified rectangle value on the Border object.
