In WPF, what are the differences between the x:Name and Name attributes?

Question

The title says it all. Sometimes it seems that the Name and x:Name attributes are interchangeable.

So, what are the definitive differences

Answer 1

Name:

1. can be used only for descendants of FrameworkElement and FrameworkContentElement;
2. can be set from code-behind via SetValue() and property-like.

x:Name:

1. can be used for almost all XAML elements;
2. can NOT be set from code-behind via SetValue(); it can only be set using attribute syntax on objects because it is a directive.

Using both directives in XAML for one FrameworkElement or FrameworkContentElement will cause an exception: if the XAML is markup compiled, the exception will occur on the markup compile, otherwise it occurs on load.
