Setting binding on a WPF label in codebehind not working due to ContentProperty not being recognised

I have the following method in my View;

Label GetSummaryLabel(Panel panel, ServiceChargeType type)
{
    var chargeTextbox = panel.Children[1];

    var summarybinding = new Binding { Source = chargeTextbox, Path = new PropertyPath("Text") };
    var summaryLabel = new Label();
    summaryLabel.SetBinding(ContentProperty, summarybinding);

    return summaryLabel;
}

This works fine, but I want to move this function to a helper class, when I do so I get the following compile error;

"Cannot resolve symbol 'ContentProperty'

Why?

ContentProperty is a static member on ContentControl class. When you are in your view (i.e. UserControl or Window), you are already in one of the derived classes from ContentControl and the ContentProperty is available. However, when you move your code to a helper, you need to classify the ContentProperty with it's class name.
