In windows 8 you can set the content or text property by using : x:UiD="SomeText"
This loads the text with id SomeText from a resource file.
Unfortunately this doesn’t work for HyperLinkButtons, the content property isn’t loaded from the resource file.
Anybody knows how to set the content of a HyperLinkButton from a resource file?
And how to do it for other properties? Like AutomationProperties.Name
To answer your second question: You may use in the resource file as Name the following:
SomeText.[using:Windows.UI.Xaml.Automation]AutomationProperties.Name
