In the section, it was stated that the attribute value must be able to be set by a string. The basic, native handling of how strings are converted into other object types or primitive values is based on the String type itself, in addition to native processing for certain types such as DateTime or Uri. But many WPF types or members of those types extend the basic string attribute processing behavior, in such a way that instances of more complex object types can be specified as strings and attributes.

About The X: prefix?
The prefix x: was used to map the XAML namespace http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml, which is the dedicated XAML namespace that supports XAML language constructs. This x: prefix is used for mapping this XAML namespace in the templates for projects.
x:Key: Sets a unique key for each resource in a ResourceDictionary.
Example:
 <object x:Key="stringKeyValue".../>
x:Class: Specifies the CLR namespace and class name for the class that provides code-behind for a XAML page.
Example:
<object x:Class="namespace.classname".../>
x:Name: Specifies a run-time object name for the instance that exists in run-time code after an object element is processed.
Example:
<object x:Name="XAMLNameValue".../>
x:Static: Enables a reference that returns a static value that is not otherwise a XAML-compatible property.
Example:
<object property="{x:Static prefix:typeName.staticMemberName}" .../>
x:Type: Constructs a Type reference based on a type name.
Example:
<object property="{x:Type prefix:typeNameValue}" .../>


This example shows you how to create a simple Binding.
In this example, you have a Person object with a string property named PersonName. The Person object is defined in the namespace called SDKSample.
The following example instantiates the Person object with a PersonName property value of Anil. This is done in the Resources section and assigned an x:Key.
XAML
<Window  xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
  xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"  xmlns:ak="clr-namespace:SDKSample"
  Title="Simple Data Binding Sample">
  <Window.Resources>
    <ak:Person x:Key="myDataSource" PersonName="Anil"/>
  </Window.Resources>
  <Grid>
   <TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=PersonName, Source={StaticResource myDataSource}}"/>
  </Grid>
</Window>
As a result, the TextBlock appears with the value "Anil".
MultiBinding:
 </TextBlock >
