This class is a deprecated way to programmatically create templates, which are subclasses of FrameworkTemplate such as ControlTemplate or DataTemplate; not all of the template functionality is available when you create a template using this class. The recommended way to programmatically create a template is to load XAML from a string or a memory stream using the Load method of the XamlReader class.

Regarding Deprication
Companies that make XAML design products rely heavily on this class. To depricate it will destroy a number of products abilities to load the xaml in a controled manner. XAMLReader.Load is not a useable substitue.
