This article gives a clean XAML-only solution.

StartupUri="pack://application:,,,/assembly_name;component/path/file_name.xaml"

Where:

• path is the subfolder in which the component resides; if the component is at the project root, this element is omitted
• file_name is the file name of the component

Examples:

pack://application:,,,/UI;component/CalculatorView.xaml
assembly - UI.dll
path - none (file at project root)
file_name - CalculatorView

pack://application:,,,/MyApp.UI;component/Views/CalculatorView.xaml
assembly - MyApp.UI.dll
path - Views
file_name - CalculatorView

pack://application:,,,/UI;component/Views/External/CalculatorView.xaml assembly - UI.dll
path - Views/External
file_name - CalculatorView
