We should probably add some compiler-visible MSBuild metadata for XAML items that are going to be compiled (right now the actual check is the item being AvaloniaResource with the plan to have it restricted to AvaloniaXaml). It should be available before CoreCompile target, so we can pass that info into the analyzer.

There is an extra metadata check already.
We read build_metadata.AdditionalFiles.SourceItemGroup metadata in the same file below, and for XAML files we set it as AvaloniaXaml.

We had to add this metadata to avoid conflicts with MAUI XAML that also uses generators

IIRC passing CSharpCompilation to RegisterSourceOutput will trigger generator to run on any change in the entire project, which kinda defeats the purpose of generator being incremental.

Possibly, but we need compilation provider, to have access to type system. Caching it might potentially lead to invalid state.
There can be a point in parsing XAML and reading x:Name metadata without type information, but it would be much more involving refactoring of the compiler.

AFAIK, the CompilationProvider updates on every keystroke in source, so a Combine will rerun the latter portion of the pipeline on every keystroke (the entire RegisterSourceOutput in this case). This can be somewhat mitigated with frequent checking of the CancellationToken to bail out.
Normally, I gather type information from symbols during the transform part of ForAttributeWithMetadataName into an equatable model, but this is an AdditionalTextsProvider-based generator.
You could create another intermediate stage where you parse the XAML and return an equatable model containing unresolved types (fully-qualified names and ones that need additional resolution, such as a using with a group of namespaces). Then the next stage of the pipeline with CompilationProvider only needs to resolve types. Though in a large project, especially with automation, there could be thousands of named controls to resolve on keystroke. Tough problem.

Pushed changes to only update compilation instance when any dependency assembly was added or changed.

@stevemonaco just noticed your comment.
Yes, I tried to make XamlX work with unresolved types. Where I created a read-only type system containing pre-computed referenced assemblies. And treat any type as fake type, resolved after parsing on separated step.
I eventually gave up, when realized issues with conflicting XmlnsDefinition. Single XAML namespace can be mapped on multiple CLR namespaces, and XamlX can't delay this resolution until later.
I wasn't planning to refactor XamlX while making this PR.

Actually, tried a bit different approach with parsing and resolving XML types first, without compilation info.
And then another step with up-to-date compilation combined used to resolve actual types.
Need to understand performance difference though.
âĶon should be reused between dependency changes

What does the pull request do?
It was a bit long overdue.
Breaking changes
It raises minimal supported Visual Studio / .NET SDK version (only for source generators, not affecting anything else).
