Is this feature on the map for RTM or is it looking more like v.next?

Not in Silverlight 2. You'll still need to do the namespace xmlns that identifies the namespace and assembly.

Custom Xaml Namespace Mapping (SL2 B2)

dragonshed — Mon, 04 Aug 2008 23:03:59 GMT

Does the Xaml Parser in Beta2 support custom namespace mappings? For example, an assembly containing only custom controls and supplying the following attribute in AssemblyInfo.cs: [assembly: XmlnsDefinition("http://silverlight.net/awesomecontrols", Silverlight.Windows.Controls")]

Assembly usage works properly when I use these controls in Xaml, xmlns:myControls="clr-namespace:Silverlight.Windows.Controls;assembly=AwesomeControls", but when I try xmlns:myControls="http://silverlight.net/awesomecontrols", it will throw a XamlParseException with Unknown Namespace.
