The toolkit exposes two XML namespaces for use in XAML:
| Prefix | URI | Description |
|---|---|---|
materialDesign | http://materialdesigninxaml.net/winfx/xaml/themes | Primary namespace for all public Material Design types, controls, and converters. |
materialDesignInternal | http://materialdesigninxaml.net/winfx/xaml/themes-internal | Namespace for types in internal sub-namespaces (MaterialDesignThemes.Wpf.Internal, MaterialDesignThemes.Wpf.Converters.Internal, MaterialDesignThemes.Wpf.Behaviors.Internal). |
[!WARNING] Types exposed via the
materialDesignInternalnamespace are considered internal implementation details and are not guaranteed to maintain backwards-compatibility between versions. Use them at your own risk.
To use the internal namespace in XAML:
<Window ...
xmlns:materialDesignInternal="http://materialdesigninxaml.net/winfx/xaml/themes-internal">
