resourcedictionary

I have a simple template for a combobox structured in this way: <ComboBox DockPanel.Dock="Left" MinWidth="100" MaxHeight="24" ItemsSource="{Binding Actions}"> <ComboBox.ItemTemplate> <DataTemplate> <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal"> <TextBlock Text="{Binding Name}" Width="100" /> <Image Source="{Binding Converter={StaticResource TypeConverter}}" /> </StackPanel> </DataTemplate> </ComboBox.ItemTemplate> </ComboBox> So, if I use this code, everything works: <TextBlock Text="{Binding Name}" Width="100" /> <!--<Image Source="{Binding Converter={StaticResource TypeConverter}}" /> --> <Image

I declared a style that I want to apply to ALL the buttons in the project, the style resides in the ResourceDictionary: <Style TargetType="StackPanel"> <Setter Property="Orientation" Value="Horizontal" /> <Setter Property="VerticalAlignment" Value="Center"/> <Setter Property="HorizontalAlignment" Value="Center"/> </Style> Now, in some window, I want to inherit from this style but add a value: <Style TargetType="StackPanel"> <Setter Property="Margin" Value="5"/> </Style> The problem is that it doesn't inherit from the global style, in order to inherit I have to assign a key to the global style:

I previously posted a question on sharing resources across assemblies using Themes/generic.xaml and the ComponentResourceKey markup extension. The solution works nicely, but it requres all of the shared resources to be located in the generic.xaml resource dictionary. Mine is getting rather large, so I thought I would use merged dictionaries in generic.xaml to organize things. I have had no luck so far. I ran some tests using the demo from my previous post, and as soon as I move resources to a merged dictionary, the ComponentResourceKey fails, complaining that it can't find the source file for

My question is very similar to this one: wpf image resources and changing image in wpf control at runtime , but with a slight twist. Here is my ResourceDictionary.xaml: <ResourceDictionary xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"> <ImageSource x:Key="DisconnectedIcon">Images/disconnect.png</ImageSource> <ImageSource x:Key="Synced">Images/tick.png</ImageSource> <ImageSource x:Key="NotSynced">Images/x.png</ImageSource> As for the C# code behind, I am able to load the ImageSource from the resources with the following.

Following a first question on WPF Cascading Binding , I remarked that I had more Resources than desired defined in both the MainWindow and the UserControls : This is well seen in Snoop the MainWindow XAML has an "instance" of a MainWindow ViewModel that paints the 2 usercontrol in green and blue additionnaly there are 2 instances of usercontrol viewmodels for each of the 2 UserControls that would paint the inner circle in red My first Intention in the Usercontrol was to be able to see " live " how my control would look like ( I painted it red to distinguish this "model" from the green and blue

I am currently building a WP7 app using the MVVMLight framework. I would like to add a resource dictionary to my app.xaml, however when I do it fails. Here is a snipit from the app.xaml <Application.Resources> <!--Global View Model Locator--> <vm:ViewModelLocator x:Key="Locator" d:IsDataSource="True" /> <!--Merged Resource Dictionaries--> <ResourceDictionary> <ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries> <ResourceDictionary Source="View/StyleResourceDictionary.xaml"/> </ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries> </ResourceDictionary> </Application.Resources> Because I am using a ViewModelLocator that

I'm making a WPF application that is going to have multiple skins branded in by our build system. Ideally we would like the application to list off the skins available as some builds will have one to many skins. At runtime is there a way to enumerate all the Resource Dictionaries in a specific folder? I want to avoid hard coding the XAML filenames in my codebehind as this is a changing situation. Sort of. You can enumerate all BAML (compiled XAML) files as follows: var resourcesName = assembly.GetName().Name + ".g"; var manager = new System.Resources.ResourceManager(resourcesName, assembly);
