Doesn't give any affect. Still no autocomplete. Tried add to YourApp.csproj too for sure

Well. Found out reason of this bug and how to fix it.
This code will have available autocomplete for bindings:

<UserControl
...
x:DataType="vm:IdentificationViewModel">
  <StackPanel>
    <TextBlock>Identification View!</TextBlock>
    <TextBlock Text="{Binding PageName}"/> <!-- VS will suggest you "PageName" prop from VM here -->
    <Button Command="{Binding ButtonBindingTestCommand}">Press me!</Button>
  </StackPanel>
</UserControl>

This one WILL NOT have autocomplete for bindings:

<UserControl
...
x:DataType= "vm:IdentificationViewModel"> <!-- watch here: space(s) (or tab(s)) between x:DataType= AND "..." (value) -->
  <StackPanel>
    <TextBlock>Identification View!</TextBlock>
    <TextBlock Text="{Binding }"/> <!-- VS will not suggest you any of your props from VM here -->
    <Button Command="{Binding }">Press me!</Button>
  </StackPanel>
</UserControl>

Reason was a Spaces or Tabs between x:DataType= attribute and its value "...". For proper work it should be seamlessly x:DataType="..."

don't know if we can have an XAML warning for this. /cc @maxkatz6

No, whitespaces should be supported there, as it's a valid XML.
