I'm sorry to be dense - can you remind me how to get this strong name? I
now have Visual Studio 2008 and the Silverlight tools installed.
I have success with using these shiny new controls from XAML *and* with
the following code:
xaml = Application.Current.LoadRootVisual(Canvas(), "app.xaml")
something = xaml.FindName('watermark')
import clr
assembly = something.GetType().Assembly
clr.AddReference(assembly)
from System.Windows.Controls import Button
As you say, this is ugly and using the strong names would be better. :-)

That is what I'm using. If anyone has success with these binaries then
let me know what you did!
