Dependency Property dependent on another

Question

How can one register a dependency property whose value is calculated using the value of another dependency property?

Because the .NET property wrappers are bypassed

You're actually correct, you should use PropertyChangedCallback. Here's how:

public bool TestBool
{
  get { return (bool)GetValue(TestBoolProperty); }
  set 
  { 
    SetValue(TestBoolProperty, value);
  }
}
public static readonly DependencyProperty TestBoolProperty =
  DependencyProperty.Register("TestBool", typeof(bool), typeof(ViewModel),
  new PropertyMetadata(false, new PropertyChangedCallback(OnTestBoolChanged)));

private static void OnTestBoolChanged(DependencyObject d, DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs e)
{
  ViewModel vm = d as ViewModel;
  vm.TestDouble = value ? 100.0 : 200.0;
}

public double TestDouble
{
  get { return ((double)GetValue(TestDoubleProperty)); }
  set { SetValue(TestDoubleProperty, value); }
}
public static readonly DependencyProperty TestDoubleProperty =
  DependencyProperty.Register("TestDouble", typeof(double), typeof(ViewModel));
