Xaml 2009 Features: Built in Types
In Xaml2009, we have built-in support for common CLR types which simplifies authoring. So rather than specifying something like
<s:String xmlns:s="clr-namespace:System;assembly=mscorlib"> Foo </s:String>
We can use the notation <x:String > Foo </s:String>
The list of types supported is below:
• <x:String>
• <x:Char>
• <x:Single>
• <x:Double>
• <x:Boolean>
• <x:Byte>
• <x:Int16>
• <x:Int32>
• <x:Int64>
• <x:Decimal>
• <x:Object>
• <x:Uri>
• <x:TimeSpan>
• <x:Array>
One thing to note is wrt WPF this will work only in loose Xaml. This means that these features cannot be used within Cider\Blend. Rob has a post clarifying the absence of tooling support.
Now you get the slight change in title J
