Two Xaml Tricks
1. Declare array object in xaml:
2. Declare inline code in Xaml:
Note that, when specifying inline code in xaml, you also need to specify the x:Class and the Xaml should be compiled before getting execution, which means that XamlReader.Load() method cannot intepret the xaml which contains inline code.

2. Declare inline code in Xaml:
<Page xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
x:Class="MyPage">
<x:Code>
<![CDATA[
private void ButtonClickEventHandler(Object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
MessageBox.Show("Hello Xaml!");
}
]]>
</x:Code>
<Grid>
<Button Width="200" Height="60" Content="Click Me" Click="ButtonClickEventHandler"/>
</Grid>
</Page>
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
x:Class="MyPage">
<x:Code>
<![CDATA[
private void ButtonClickEventHandler(Object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
MessageBox.Show("Hello Xaml!");
}
]]>
</x:Code>
<Grid>
<Button Width="200" Height="60" Content="Click Me" Click="ButtonClickEventHandler"/>
</Grid>
</Page>
