NameScope Class
Assembly: PresentationFramework (in presentationframework.dll)
XML Namespace: http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation
This class supports creation of logical tree name scopes that are created by processes that occur outside of normal Extensible Application Markup Language (XAML) loading of elements. For instance, NameScope assists in creation of initial namescopes based on the logical tree, such as when instantiating styles and templates.
For most scenarios, the FindName methods exposed on FrameworkElement and FrameworkContentElement are more appropriate methods to call to search for elements by name. The Name properties exposed by FrameworkElement and FrameworkContentElement are more appropriate properties to use to set the initial name as markup attributes. And the RegisterName methods exposed on FrameworkElement and FrameworkContentElement is necessary to establish a name into a specific namescope.
The various methods of NameScope are used by base elements and other classes that define namescopes in order to support RegisterName and FindName.
Other similar methods exist on specialized namescopes. For details, see WPF Namescopes.
