resourcedictionary

The application I'm working on has 2 ResourceDictionary, DefaultStyles.xaml and CustomStyles.xaml. Is it possible that a style in the CustomStyles dictionary uses a base style defined in the other dictionary? DefaultStyles.xaml: <Style x:Key="TextBlockDefaultStyle" TargetType="TextBlock"> <Setter Property="Margin" Value="4" /> </Style> CustomStyles.xaml: <Style x:Key="SectionTitleStyle" TargetType="TextBlock" BasedOn="{StaticResource TextBlockDefaultStyle}"> <Setter Property="FontSize" Value="16" /> </Style> App.xaml: <Application.Resources> <ResourceDictionary> <ResourceDictionary

I need to add code behind class to Resource Dictionary as described in this question . (I know that this is not a good practise but it should work based on the comments for linked question) .I'm referencing the code with x:Class attribute: XAML (separate Resource Dictionary file): <ResourceDictionary xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" x:Class="MyNamespace.MyStandardResources"> ... </ResourceDictionary> CODE: using System.Windows; namespace MyNamespace { public partial class MyStandardResources :

Consider a File | New Project of a WPF Application that contains: A new custom control named CustomControl1 Two new resource dictionaries named Dictionary1 and Dictionary2 Take the generated style out of Generic.xaml and move it to Dictionary2. Then merge Dictionary2 into Dictionary1 and Dictionary1 into Generic like this: <!--Generic.xaml--> <ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries> <ResourceDictionary Source="pack://application:,,,/Themes/Dictionary1.xaml"/> </ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries> <!--Dictionary1.xaml--> <ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries> <ResourceDictionary Source=

I have a defined path in XAML: <UserControl.Resources> <ResourceDictionary> <Path x:Key="N44" Width="20" Height="80" Stretch="Fill" Fill="#FF000000" Data="M 20,25.2941L 20,29.4118L 15.9091,29.4118L 15.9091,40L 12.2727,40L 12.2727,29.4118L 2.54313e-006,29.4118L 2.54313e-006,25.6985L 13.4872,7.62939e-006L 15.9091,7.62939e-006L 15.9091,25.2941L 20,25.2941 Z M 12.2727,25.2941L 12.2727,5.28493L 2.09517,25.2941L 12.2727,25.2941 Z M 20,65.2941L 20,69.4118L 15.9091,69.4118L 15.9091,80L 12.2727,80L 12.2727,69.4118L -5.08626e-006,69.4118L -5.08626e-006,65.6985L 13.4872,40L 15.9091,40L 15.9091,65.2941L

I have a WPF ResourceDictionary with the following TextBlock: <TextBlock Visibility="{Binding Converter={StaticResource MyBoolProp ResourceKey=BoolToVis}}"> </TextBlock> The ResourceDictionary is included in App.xaml under MergedDictionaries: <Application.Resources> <ResourceDictionary> <ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries> <ResourceDictionary Source="MyResourceDictionary.xaml"/> Within the App.xaml I have defined the BoolToVis converter (again, under Application.Resources ) <BooleanToVisibilityConverter x:Key="BoolToVis" /> When I start my app up - I get the following XamlParseException:

The same line of code in the same assembly works for one test fixture but not another. Here is the line of code: var dic = new ResourceDictionary { Source = new Uri("pack://application:,,,/MyApp.Wpf;component/ImageResources.xaml") }; The error I get in the other test fixture is System.UriFormatException : Invalid URI: Invalid port specified. The uri string also works in xaml. Is there a better way to load a resource dictionary in code? Cheers, Berryl === UPDATE === As I found in this posting , an Invalid port was occurring because the pack scheme wasn't registered, which can be done with code

Am getting the below error when i tried to refer the resource dictionary my app.xaml file <Application x:Class="DesignerPoc.App" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" xmlns:local="clr-namespace:DesignerPoc" StartupUri="MainWindow.xaml"> <Application.Resources> <ResourceDictionary> <ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries> <ResourceDictionary Source="pack://application:,,,/Dashboard.Designer.WPF;Connection/Views/test.xaml"/> </ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries> </ResourceDictionary> </Application.Resources>
