ReSharper's complaining about some of my XAML with the following error:
'Name' attribute is not allowed here because type 'FlashingTextBlock' is implemented in the same project. Use 'x:Name' instead
What's the problem here? Should I do what it says?

See an excellent explanations in this answer, and decide for your own ;)
In WPF, what are the differences between the x:Name and Name attributes?

Cool. So why is it a problem that it's implemented in the same project? – Roger Lipscombe May 17 '10 at 15:32

It isnt a problem.. simply put, x:Name makes your control available in the code behind as well. – Arcturus May 18 '10 at 08:05

1Let me rephrase that: why does *ReSharper* think it's a problem that it's implemented in the same project? – Roger Lipscombe May 29 '10 at 12:42

Does FlashingTextBlock have a System.Windows.Markup.RuntimeNameProperty attribute?
According to "Windows Presentation Foundation Unleashed" by Adam Nathan:
... you can simply set its Name property to a string rather than use the x:Name syntax. You can use either mechanism, but you can't use both simultaneously.

No, it doesn't have a `RuntimeNameProperty` attribute. It's a `UserControl`; presumably it inherits `Name` from `FrameworkElement`? – Roger Lipscombe May 17 '10 at 09:59

Yes - I found a reference here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.markup.runtimenamepropertyattribute%28VS.85%29.aspx – richj May 17 '10 at 11:31
