It's been years since the original question was asked and answered but as I just checked, the solution might have gotten simpler since then. ReSharper seems to offer correct Intellisense without the need to generate the static classes mentioned in the accepted answer.

But I haven't witnessed the compile-time error as stated in the accepted answer. I even tried using [XamlCompilation(XamlCompilationOptions.Compile)] to no avail. Please stand me corrected if I am missing something.
