Tag property is like the programmers black box.

I use it all the time with menu and tree systems where I want a simple representation of a object but quick access to that object on a event.

One problem with tags are that since you can put in what ever you want, you best keep track of what you are adding where and why.

Oh man, did you really have to leak over the Tag property from WinForms? :)

You can easily do the same with attached properties IMO, which in addition allows you to have multiple, different kinds of properties, which are even type-safe!

I tend to register those in the App class for simpler apps.
