Navigation and Refactorings

AXSG extends navigation beyond plain element names.

Supported definition/reference surfaces

Definitions, declarations, references, and rename work across:

  • element types and qualified prefixes
  • binding paths and compiled bindings
  • shorthand expressions and inline C# code
  • event handlers and event lambdas
  • style classes, pseudoclasses, and selector #name tokens
  • TemplateBinding properties
  • resource keys and include URIs
  • owner-qualified property elements such as <Window.IsVisible>

Cross-language behavior

AXSG can propagate navigation and rename flows between C# and XAML when the symbol has XAML usages.

Examples:

  • renaming a view-model property updates binding usages in XAML
  • finding references on a selector #ThemeToggle includes the x:Name declaration
  • definition on pages: navigates to the xmlns:pages declaration while definition on ContentControlRowDetailsSwapPage navigates to the CLR type

Inline C#

Inline C# in attribute form, object-element form, and CDATA form participates in:

  • definition/declaration
  • references
  • completion
  • hover
  • semantic highlighting
