Binding to static texts from An Infrastructure assembly in Prism

Question

I want to bind the titles of the Views to static text's from our Infrastructure's Titles Class. Adding a symbol prefix (e.g "Ref") and registering it's namespace and use it in the View What I want is to achieve something similar to this :

Part1:

xmlns:Ref="clr-namespace:Xz.Infrastructure;assembly=Xz.Infrastructure"

Part2:

<TextBlock Text="{Binding Titles.Title1}" />

Hopefully a way more similar to :

<TextBlock Text="{Binding Ref:Titles.Title1}" />

Please correct me.

Part3:

namespace Xz.Infrastructure
{
    public class Titles
    {
        public static string Title1 = "Title1";
        public static string RgnContent = "RgnContent";
    }
}

Our Infrastructure isn't defined as a module, it's just an assembly.
The Project is using Unity.

You can try with this code

{Binding Source={x:Static MyNamespace:MyStaticClass.MyStaticStringField}}

So

<TextBlock Text="{Binding Source={x:Static Xz.Infrastructure:Titles.Title1}}" />

Thanks for the answer, I will try this, Couldn't I omit the "Xz.Infrastructure" and instead use the "Ref" ? – LastBye Oct 10 '12 at 13:51

Since this is a static string you can simply use:

<TextBlock Text="{x:Static Ref:Titles.Title1}"/>

If you really do want this bound and supporting change notification and such, have a look at this
