Description
_This issue has been moved from [a ticket on Developer Community](https://developercommunity2.visualstudio.com/t/References-referred-in-WPF-XAML-only-not/850184)._
---
I noted that references which is used only in the XAML files are not copied to the main project output.
Example of dependency layout.
1) `Project_WPF_Converters`
- Contains only converters
2) `Project_WPF_Pages`
- Includes `Project_WPF_Converters`
- References to (1) are all inside the .xaml files via
`xmlns:c="clr-namespace:My.Converters;assembly=My.Converters"`
3) `Project_Main`
- Includes `Project_WPF_Pages`
After build,
- in `Project_WPF_Pages` output folder, `Project_WPF_Converters.dll` is copied.
- in `Project_Main` output folder, only `Project_WPF_Pages.dll` is copied. `Project_WPF_Converters.dll` is not.

I have detected that for the last 35 days, this issue didn't have much product team activity and a very small amount of new votes or comments. Based on this, its severity, and affected area, it’s my experience that this issue is very unlikely to be fixed.

Thank you for taking the time to log this issue! Did you still reproduce this issue in the latest stable version of Visual Studio installed from https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads ?
