Hi:

Please try this:

public class Entity : Control
    {

           public string Title { get; set; }
    }
    public partial class Page : UserControl
    {
        public Page()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
            string s = @"<Model:Entity
xmlns='http://schemas.microsoft.com/client/2007'
xmlns:x='http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml'
xmlns:Model='clr-namespace:SilverlightApplication6;assembly=SilverlightApplication6'
x:Name='EntityNameX'
Title='EntityTitleX'>
</Model:Entity>";
            Control q = XamlReader.Load(s) as Control;

               string name= q.GetValue(NameProperty).ToString();

}

Regards

I probably should have mentioned that this xaml is not for any UI controls, it is strictly for serializing data.

Hi,

This is because the XamlReader.Load changed from beta 1 to beta 2 and now always creates a separate namescope so that your loaded elements cannot be found globally with root.FindName. Microsoft suuggests a workaround in the end of this tread:

XamlReader.Load with x:Name attribute

andrewz — Wed, 11 Jun 2008 16:08:18 GMT

I'm loading xaml via XamlReader.Load the class has a property named "Name", when loading the xaml it seems to ignore my Name attribute (I also tried x:Name). The Title property loads fine, but the Name property is always null.

public class Entity
{
public string Name { get; set; }
public string Title { get; set; }
}

<Model:Entity
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/client/2007"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:Model="clr-namespace:SilverlightApplication1;assembly=SilverlightApplication1"
x:Name="EntityNameX"
Title="EntityTitleX">
</Model:Entity>

<Model:Entity
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/client/2007"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:Model="clr-namespace:SilverlightApplication1;assembly=SilverlightApplication1"
Name="EntityNameY"
Title="EntityTitleY">
</Model:Entity>

I Load the xaml using XamlReader.Load

var x = XamlReader.Load(...)

Does silverlight ignore attributes named Name?
