#107 – Markup Extensions in the XAML Namespace

Some markup extensions are part of the extensions to XAML added for WPF (e.g. StaticResource).  But some markup extensions are part of the XAML vocabulary itself, typically prefixed with x:.  They are listed below:

  • x:Array – Allows including an array of objects in XAML
  • x:Null – A null value
  • x:Reference – A reference to another element defined in XAML  (XAML 2009)
  • x:Static – References a static element in code, e.g. value of a static property
  • x:Type – Specifies a .NET type
