Remarks

CompositionRenderingHelper class helps work with CompositionTarget.Rendering event with allowing subscribed objects to be collected by Garbage Collection and therefore preventing infinite rendering subscription in case when the Rendering is not unsubscribed.

To use the CompositionRenderingHelper, the class that wants to subscribe to CompositionTarget.Rendering need to implement ICompositionRenderingSubscriber interface.

Then the class can be subscribed to the CompositionTarget.Rendering event with calling the Subscribe(ICompositionRenderingSubscriber) method. To unsubscribe call the Unsubscribe(ICompositionRenderingSubscriber) method.

CompositionRenderingHelper stores the subscribed classes as WeakReferences. This way the class is automatically unsubscribed when it is recylced by Garbage collector.

When there is no subscribed assigned the CompositionRenderingHelper is not subscribed to the CompositionTarget.Rendering event.

NOTE
It's possible for Rendering to call back twice in the same frame. With setting PreventMultipleRenderingCallsOnSameFrame to true (by default), such duplicate calls are prevented.
