XAML Markup Extensions Used in WPF and Silverlight

The following markup extensions are a part of the XAML language and are intrinsic language features:

• Binding. This markup extension binds the values of two properties together. It is most commonly used in data-binding scenarios to bind the value of a FrameworkElement instance to a specific piece of data. For example, you can bind a customer name to a text box.

• StaticResource. This markup extension is used to implement a one-time lookup of a resource entry. The resource entry could be defined in the resources section of a container control such as a Grid, a StackPanel, and so forth.

• DynamicResource. This markup extension is used to implement lookup of a resource entry dynamically at runtime.

• TemplateBinding ...
