Splitting WPF interface across multiple Xaml files

Question

I am trying to create a user interface using XAML. However, the file is quickly becoming very large and difficult to work with. What is the best way for splitting it across

Answer 1

You can split up XAML files by using a ResourceDictionary. The ResourceDictionary can be used to merge other files:

In the ResourceDictionary, you can also declare Styles that you can use at your elements, such that the main XAML file gets smaller.

Another possibility to get a smaller XAML file is to define your own controls that you then use in your main app.
