resourcedictionary

I have a class library and want to change the type so that I also can add a WPF resource dictionaries. I have added the WPF references and also tried to sync the AssemblyInfo.cs file with a project that allows the addition of such resource files, however without success. If I use the add-new-dialog from Visual Studio, the template for WPF resource dictionaries is not available - If I create the file manually and then reference it, all works fine. How can I change my project to a WPF custom control library project so that Visual Studio allows me to add WPF resource dictionaries. Or are there

Can I accomplish this using resources or perhaps Styles. Please supply a light code example if possible. EDIT: I've decided to add an example of what I'm trying to do because I'm still not getting it. Under each TabItem I'm trying to recreate this grid (It's a bit more

I have encountered a situation where it would be very useful to specify a floating point value directly in XAML and use it as a resource for several of my UI pieces. After searching around I found a good amount of information on how to include the proper assembly (mscorlib) in your XAML so you can do just that. Unfortunately, I am getting an exception in one instance where I try to do this. Here is the following XAML that recreates the situation: <Window x:Class="davidtestapp.MainWindow" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com

How can I add ResourceDictionary dinamicly like this? ResourceDictionary template = new ResourceDictionary(); template.Source = new Uri("Design.xaml", UriKind.Relative); Application.Current.Resources.MergedDictionaries.Add(template); With absolute Uri it working perfectly but from Relative doesnt. I use the XamlReader class to do this: string exeFilePath = System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetName().CodeBase; string exeDirPath = Path.GetDirectoryName(exeFilePath); string targetFile = "subfolder\\dictionary.xaml"; string path_to_xaml_dictionary = new Uri(Path.Combine(exeDirPath,
