XAML namespace (x:) language features
[This article is for Windows 8.x and Windows Phone 8.x developers writing Windows Runtime apps. If you’re developing for Windows 10, see the latest documentation]
This section provides reference information for the XAML language features as implemented for Windows Runtime.

| Topic | Description |
|---|---|
Configures XAML compilation to join partial classes between markup and code-behind. The code partial class is defined in a separate code file, and the markup partial class is created by code generation during XAML compilation. |
|
Modifies XAML compilation behavior, such that fields for named object references are defined with public access rather than the private default behavior. |
|
Uniquely identifies elements that are created and referenced as resources, and which exist within a ResourceDictionary. |
|
Uniquely identifies object elements for access to the instantiated object from code-behind or general code. Once applied to a backing programming model, x:Name can be considered equivalent to the variable holding an object reference, as returned by a constructor. |
|
Specifies null as a value for a property being set through a XAML attribute. |
|
Provides a unique identifier for markup elements. For Windows Runtime XAML, this unique identifier is used by XAML localization processes and tools, such as using resources from a .resw resource file. |
|
Lists language-level support in XAML for the Windows Runtime for certain data types in the common language runtime (CLR) and in other programming languages such as C++. |
