Description
Describe the bug
Hi, I'm using wpf-ui on my wpf app. It's working, but when I write x:name or name to a component in the xaml it gives me the following error:
The type or namespace name 'Ui' does not exist in the namespace 'Client.Wpf' (are you missing an assembly reference?)
If I cancel the name or x:name the error will go away.
To Reproduce
Set name or x:name to a wpf-ui component.
Expected behavior
x:name in wpf-ui component working

Research direction
Reproduce the issue in a Windows 11 WPF app using .NET 8 and WPF-UI NuGet 3.0.4, first setting x:Name or Name on a WPF-UI component. Trace why that declaration produces the Client.Wpf.Ui namespace error; done means named WPF-UI components compile without the reported error.
