In WPF, what are the differences between the x:Name and Name attributes?
Why does WPF have x:Name and Name XAML? What’s the deal with x:Name?
Long story short: x:Name is an attached property and can thus be set on everything. Name is not an attached property and thus is only available on things that expose a Name property. WPF aliases Name to x:Name so you are safe to always use x:Name and this is what is recommended as you can use it everywhere.
