Tag Properties are actually a WinForms concept. WPF allows much richer properties to be defined: Attached Properties. See WPF Unleashed by Nathan: "Just like previous technologies such as Windows Forms, many classes in WPF define a Tag property (of type System.Object) intended for storing arbitrary custom data with each instance. But attached properties are a more powerful and flexible mechanism for attaching custom data to any object deriving from DependencyObject. It's often overlooked that attached properties enable you to effectively add custom data to instances of sealed classes (something that WPF has plenty of)!" http://www.codeguru.com/csharp/sample_chapter/print.php/c13347__4/ WPF allows more than just Tag Properties.

You could solve that using WeakReference though. Note that you might have a memory leak in that code, because the dictionary is static has a reference to your object.
