Two more possibilities which are little less ugly:
1. AddReference to the fully qualified type name including strong name
2. The bits at http://dynamicsilverlight.net/ - I'm told we should
recognize the assemblies for you with some changes made there

This is a horrible workaround but I think it should work. You can create the
object in XAML, then get the XAML and find the object, then call
GetType().Assembly on it, and then pass that off to clr.AddReference.
I'll follow up with the Silverlight guys on our team to make sure we can do
better.

If I add them to the manifest *and* add the following magic to the XAML
then I can read them from XAML:
xmlns:c="clr-namespace:System.Windows.Controls;assembly=System.Windows.Controls"
xmlns:e="clr-namespace:System.Windows.Controls;assembly=System.Windows.Controls.Extended"
I *really* do want to use these from code though. I tried both of the
following forms to add references to the new assemblies:
import clr
clr.AddReference('System.Windows.Controls')
clr.AddReference('System.Windows.Controls.Extended')
from System.Windows.Controls import Button
import clr
clr.AddReference('System.Windows.Controls, Version=1.0.0.0,
Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null')
clr.AddReference('System.Windows.Controls.Extended, Version=1.0.0.0,
Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null')
from System.Windows.Controls import Button
Both raised the following exception:
IOException: Could not add reference to assembly System.Windows.Controls
Any further suggestions?
