Remarks

The XAML parser that this context refers to is the .NET Framework 3.5 era XAML parser API that is specific to the WPF implementation, as exposed in System.Windows.Markup.XamlReader and System.Windows.Markup.XamlWriter.

The XAML system in .NET Framework 4 uses a more sophisticated XAML type system and thus also uses a different type of context for XAML processing operations. For more information, see XamlSchemaContext.

A ParserContext is typically used as an input for a call to a XamlReader operation. In these cases, you are using overloads of XamlReader.Load or XamlReader.LoadAsync where supplying the ParserContext provides greater control over factors such as the type mapping to XAML, or altering XML processing defaults. Using a ParserContext as opposed to using System.Windows.Markup.XamlReader default behavior is an advanced scenario.

xml:lang and xml:space behavior is one of the aspects of a context you can override. By default, the parser context uses en-us based values. For more information on why the language-level context for XAML uses en-us rather than a culture-invariant value, see WPF Globalization and Localization Overview.

Constructors

ParserContext()	Initializes a new instance of the ParserContext class.
ParserContext(XmlParserContext)	Initializes a new instance of the ParserContext class by using the specified XmlParserContext.

Properties

BaseUri	Gets or sets the base URI for this context.
XamlTypeMapper	Gets or sets the XamlTypeMapper to use with this ParserContext.
XmlLang	Gets or sets the xml:lang string for this context.
XmlnsDictionary	Gets the XAML namespace dictionary for this XAML parser context.
XmlSpace	Gets or sets the character for xml:space or this context.

Methods
