What's a name scope?

There are few details which are still obscure to me:

1. If I have a control in a Page (page is the root element), and I call control.FindName()... What you say is that the name passed in the FindName() method will be resolved into the Page root element namespace and will not "recurse" into the control's template name-scope?

2. Then, if #1 is true. How can I obtain an element of the control's template (let's say something like the "PART_blah" method used some places in the Presentation Framework)? I know of the GetTemplateChild() method, but it is marked as "do not use" in the documentation.

Thanks,

Marc

To find a named object inside a template:

button.Template.FindName("name", button)

Is there an easy way to retrieve the current namescope in a MarkupExtension?
I've tried the IServiceProvider being passed, but it doesn't work.

When you start naming things, you quickly realize that you need a method to disambiguate or resolve conflicts
