Even though x:Name is a dependency property for a WPF framework element, you cannot the name of the control to a static resource in the code behind file.

<Window x:Class="WpfApplication2.Window1"

xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"

xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"

xmlns:local="clr-namespace:WpfApplication2"

Title="Window1"

Height="300"

Width="300">

<Grid>

<Grid.CommandBindings>

<CommandBinding Command="local:AppCommands.Find"

CanExecute="CanFind"

Executed="CommandBinding_OnExecuted"/>

</Grid.CommandBindings>

<StackPanel>

<TextBox Name="textBox1"/>

<Button Command="local:AppCommands.Find"

Name="{x:Static local:Window1.MyControlName}"/>

</StackPanel>

</Grid>

</Window>



…



namespace WpfApplication2

{

/// <summary>

/// Interaction logic for Window1.xaml

/// </summary>

public partial class Window1 : Window

{



public static readonly string MyControlName = "name";

Gives this compilation error

c:\Dev\.NET\WpfApplication2\WpfApplication2\Window1.xaml(17,21): error MC3079: MarkupExtensions are not allowed for Uid or Name property values, so '{x:Static local:Window1.MyControlName}' is not valid. Line 17 Position 21.
