Custom Window as a XAML root element!

Hi,

How can I define a custom Window as the root element of a XAML file?
For example:

<WPFWindow x:Class="Namespace.DerivedWindow"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:my="clr-namespace:Custom;assembly=Custom">
....
</WPFWindow>

Where WPFWindow is a custom Window which is defined in the Custom assembly:
public class WPFWindow : Window {...}

Thanks.

RE: Custom Window as a XAML root element!

Ok, I've found the answer!!!

I just need to define:

[assembly: XmlnsDefinitionAttribute(
"http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation",
"Custom")]

This will "combine" the types under Custom into
"http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
Now, the XAML compiler knows what is WPFWindow.

:-)
