Remarks

AdornerManager provides two attached properties: Adorner to get or set UIElement as adorner of FrameworkElement; and AdornerTemplate to get or set DataTemplate as adorner of FrameworkElement. You can use these attached properties to declare adorner of FrameworkElement in XAML.

AdornerTemplate provides similar functionality as Adorner, however it can be used in style setters because direct UI child is not allowed. Both way the provided adorner inherits DataContext as adorned element.

Setting adorner for specified FrameworkElement will clear the adorner previously set, no matter using Adorner or AdornerTemplate attached properties.

Examples
The following example demostrates the usage of Adorner and AdornerTemplate attached property:
