How can I access ResourceDictionary in wpf from C# code?

Question

I have a DataTemplate defined in a xaml file that I want to access via C# code. Can anyone please tell me how can I access it? I added a new ResourceDicti

Answer 1

You can access a resource dictionary you added to your project as follows:

var rd = new ResourceDictionary();
rd.Source = new Uri("ms-appx:///Dictionary1.xaml");

Then you can access a resource stored in the resource dictionary like so:

someObject.Property = rd["mytemplate"];

NOTE:
You will have to modify the URI to the resource dictionary according to the location you created it relative to the project's base directory.
