Remarks

XmlnsDictionary maps XAML namespace prefixes to the complete XAML namespace URI. For XAML usage in applications and XAML namespaces in general, the URI is often not a schema-style URI that includes http://. It is instead a user-defined mapping to a CLR namespace and assembly. That assembly contains the backing types being referred to. For details, see XAML Namespaces and Namespace Mapping for WPF XAML.

The XmlnsDictionary adds the concept of scope for a XAML namespace. A default IDictionary might contain prefix keys and XML namespace URI values. The scope concept in XmlnsDictionary parallels the XML concept that a prefix might be redefined. If so, the redefinition only applies at that level or below in a DOM view of the XML (the previous definition applies at higher level in the DOM). The scope concept is mostly abstracted away in the XmlnsDictionary API, such that you can call APIs such as LookupNamespace without being concerned about scope. However, XmlnsDictionary does expose PushScope and PopScope so that a custom ParserContext implementation that changes scope can synchronize with the scope for the XmlnsDictionary.

Constructors

XmlnsDictionary()

Initializes a new instance of the XmlnsDictionary class.

XmlnsDictionary(XmlnsDictionary)

Initializes a new instance of the XmlnsDictionary class by using the specified dictionary as a copy source.

Properties

Count

Gets the number of items in the XmlnsDictionary.

IsFixedSize

Gets a value that indicates whether the size of the XmlnsDictionary is fixed.

IsReadOnly

Gets a value that indicates whether the XmlnsDictionary is read-only.

IsSynchronized

Gets a value that indicates whether access to this XmlnsDictionary is thread safe.

Item[Object]

Gets or sets the XAML namespace URI associated with the specified prefix.

Item[String]

Gets or sets the XAML namespace URI associated with the specified prefix.

Keys

Gets a collection of all the keys in the XmlnsDictionary.

Sealed

Gets a value that indicates whether the XmlnsDictionary is sealed.

SyncRoot

Gets an object that can be used to synchronize access to the XmlnsDictionary.

Values

Gets a collection of all the values in the XmlnsDictionary.

Methods

GetEnumerator()

Returns an enumerator that iterates through this XmlnsDictionary.

GetHashCode()

Serves as the default hash function.

PopScope()

Pops the scope of the XmlnsDictionary.

PushScope()

Pushes the scope of the XmlnsDictionary.

Remove(Object)

Removes the item with the specified prefix key from the XmlnsDictionary.

Remove(String)

Removes the item with the specified prefix key from the XmlnsDictionary.

Seal()

Locks the dictionary so that it cannot be changed.

ToString()

Returns a string that represents the current object.

(Inherited from Object)
