   ByVal container As DependencyObject, _

   DependencyObject container,
   object item
)

Parameters

container

The container to be reused.

item

The potential new item.

Return Value

True if the container can be reused for the item

Remarks

When looking for a suitable container for an item the generator will search its cache and call this method to see if one of its cached containers is compatible with the item. If this method returns true then the container is assigned to the item and the ReuseContainerForNewItem method is called.

Note: the default implementation always returns true.
