Don't do that, really. IronPython Studio uses IronPython 1 which is 
years out of date. Plus it is very unstable. Use IronPython Tools for 
Visual Studio 2010 instead:

I don't think the xaml designer works particularly well with IronPython 
Tools, but you can use the xaml designer in Expression or Visual Studio 
(Express).

Controls with an x:Name can be accessed as named attributes on parent 
controls.

Something like:

     def doSomething(s, e):
         button = root.hello # also equals "s" as it happens
     root = XamlReader.Load(FileStream('Hello_World.xaml', FileMode.Open))
     app.Run(root)
