XmlnsDefinitionAttribute Class

Namespace:  System.Windows.Markup
Assembly:  WindowsBase (in WindowsBase.dll)
Syntax

'Usage

Dim instance As XmlnsDefinitionAttribute

'Declaration

<AttributeUsageAttribute(AttributeTargets.Assembly, AllowMultiple := True)> _
Public NotInheritable Class XmlnsDefinitionAttribute _
    Inherits Attribute
You cannot directly create an instance of this class in XAML.
Remarks

The XML namespace can be used in a XAML markup file.

To find the appropriate types for an element and attributes in a XAML file, the XAML processor searches each referenced assembly for XmlnsDefinitionAttribute objects.

In a XAML file, if the xmlns attribute for an element tag or attribute matches the XmlNamespace in the XmlnsDefinitionAttribute, the XAML processor uses the ClrNamespace and AssemblyName stored in the XmlnsDefinitionAttribute instance to check if the element or attribute matches any type inside this namespace in the assembly.

Inheritance Hierarchy

Must be used in a referened assembly
Added by:NealAndrews
Unfortunatly you cannot use this attribute in the same assembly as your wpf code. Instead it must be defined in a referenced assembly.
