I'm not sure about this. Of course, it's a convenient thing, and it greatly helps novice developers to get things stuff running because they don't have to struggle with NS declarations. But then, I think we do have differentiation through namespaces for a reason, and R# helps a great deal in managing the imports anyway. I don't think it's a show stopper though, and as evil Paul states on his blog, it's not a problem as long as not everybody's doing it. But I'd probably sacrifice the convenience of "automagic" imports to explicit and more expressive XAML - especially for a public library.

I'm interested as well.

Paul - the libraries that we supply to our clients make use of this trick so <br> that they don't have to differentiate between our extensions and what's <br> available by default. I've avoided doing this with samples because I haven't <br> wanted to confuse people who are reading my articles, but it might be time

Congratulations Sacha. Your MVP renewal was only to be expected, and good <br> job on nominating Daniel.

Must be about time we all tried to get Daniel/Jer/Bill and any others I have <br> missed into the MVP club. Mine just got renewed last night too, but I feel <br> at least those 3 that I just named need to get the award too. <br> Someone want to nominate them, Ill do Daniel, anyone else?

Hi Disciples, <br> I've been thinking about abusing a little WPF feature to make my XAML look <br> nicer. It feels evil but actually I don't think it would be much of a <br> problem at all. I'd love your thoughts: <br> <a target="_blank" rel=nofollow href="http://www.paulstovell.com/xmlnsdefinition">[link]</a>

On a side note. I was talking to a team for a project about using MEF for <br> extensibility and their eyes turned into saucers as I brought the topic up. <br> &quot;Have you guys used MEF?&quot; <br> Stunned silence... <br> &quot;MEF is pretty awesome. It's easy to get started with it and before you know <br> it, you'll be cranking out features like a maniac.&quot;

I am creating a video blog designed as a reality TV show called RIAlity TV. <br> (Actually I'm designing it to be a Channel of RIAlity shows). The first show <br> called &quot;The Project Room:Catching the Wave&quot; will document creating a <br> software product from start to finish using the .NET stack top to bottom. <br> SL4 <br> MEF

Yeah forget that though, its a pretty good set of examples really. <br> Some of it is noddy, but other bits very handy indeed.
