        <r:RibbonButton Command="me:AppCommands.Copy"/>

Answer 2

I did work with Ribbon for a considerable amount of time. Nothing beats these tutorials.

And for the namespace problem, include a reference to RibbonControlsLibrary.dll in your project, and use the following line to point to the namespace.

xmlns:r="clr-namespace:Microsoft.Windows.Controls.Ribbon;assembly=RibbonControlsLibrary"
