If you're getting the resources within the same project, try this:

yourControl.Style = FindResource("YourResourceKey") as Style;

Otherwise, try this:

ResourceDictionary res = (ResourceDictionary)Application.LoadComponent(new Uri("/ProjectName;component/FolderName/ResourceDictionaryName.xaml", UriKind.Relative)); 
yourControl.Style = (Style)res["YourResourceKey"];
