   {
        ResourceDictionary dict = new ResourceDictionary();
        switch (Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture.ToString())
        { 
          case "en-US":
            dict.Source = new Uri("..\\Resources\\StringResources.xaml", UriKind.Relative);
            break;
          case "fr-CA":
            dict.Source = new Uri("..\\Resources\\StringResources.fr-CA.xaml", UriKind.Relative);
            break;
          default :
            dict.Source = new Uri("..\\Resources\\StringResources.xaml",UriKind.Relative);
            break;
        }
        this.Resources.MergedDictionaries.Add(dict);
   }
