Description
* .NET Core Version: 6.0
* Windows version: 10 build 19043.1586
* Does the bug reproduce also in WPF for .NET Framework 4.8?: Yes
* Is this bug related specifically to tooling in Visual Studio (e.g. XAML Designer, Code editing, etc...)? **No**
**Problem description:**
`System.Windows.Media.Pen.DashCap` is of type `enum` `System.Windows.Media.PenLineCap` . The namespace has `enum` `System.Windows.Media.PenDashCap` which by the name seems to be the correct enum for this property.
The reference source for .Net 4.8 has the following (internal) comment reinforcing the mismatched type.
```
///
/// Pen - Initializes the brush from the parameters.
///
/// The Pen's Brush.
/// The Pen's thickness.
/// The PenLineCap which applies to the start of the stroke.
/// The PenLineCap which applies to the end of the stroke.
/// The PenDashCap which applies to the ends of each dash. //<--------- Incorrect
/// The PenLineJoin.
/// The miter limit.
/// The dash style.
```
**Actual behavior:**
Use the `PenLineCap` enum in the property `Pen.DashCap`
**Expected behavior:**
Expected to use `System.Windows.Media.PenDashCap` in the property `Pen.DashCap`
**Minimal repro:**
See the docs:
https://referencesource.microsoft.com/#PresentationCore/Core/CSharp/System/Windows/Media/Pen.cs,abab5dce39ebd2ad
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.windows.media.pendashcap?view=windowsdesktop-6.0
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.windows.media.pen?view=windowsdesktop-6.0
Maybe `PenDashCap` should be removed from the namespace, I can't find any used instances of the enum.
