I am trying to load WPF Style from other file actually from WPF Custom Control Library
but i am failing to load here is my solution.
The solution contains two projects
-
WpfTestControls of Type WPF Custom Control Library
-
WpfTestApp of type WPF Application Library which has reference to WpfTestControls
MainWindow.xaml from WPF Application Library
<Window.Resources>
<Style x:Key="TempStyle" TargetType="{x:Type TextBox}">
<Setter Property="BorderBrush" Value="Green"/>
</Style>
</Window.Resources>
<Grid>
<TextBox Height="50px" Width="100px" Style="{DynamicResource TempStyle}"/>
</Grid>
Generic.xaml from WPF Custom Control Library
<ResourceDictionary
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml">
<ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
<ResourceDictionary Source="/WpfTestControls;component/TextBoxStyle.xaml"/>
</ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
TextBoxStyle.xaml from WPF Custom Control Library
<ResourceDictionary
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml">
<Style x:Key="TempStyle" TargetType="{x:Type TextBox}">
<Setter Property="BorderBrush" Value="Green"/>
</Style>
My AssemblyInfo.cs file contains the following
[assembly: ThemeInfo(
ResourceDictionaryLocation.None, //where theme specific resource dictionaries are located
//(used if a resource is not found in the page,
// or application resource dictionaries)
ResourceDictionaryLocation.SourceAssembly //where the generic resource dictionary is located
//(used if a resource is not found in the page,
// app, or any theme specific resource dictionaries))]
But still i am failing to load the Style.
If i am using the not using the Generic.xaml everything work fine for example the following code works as expected
<Window x:Class="WpfTestApp.MainWindow"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525">
<Window.Resources>
<Style x:Key="TempStyle" TargetType="{x:Type TextBox}">
<Setter Property="BorderBrush" Value="Green"/>
</Style>
</Window.Resources>
<Grid>
<TextBox Height="50px" Width="100px" Style="{StaticResource TempStyle}"/>
</Grid>
What am i doing wrong ?
Thanks in advance

Please answer few things for me...
WpfTestApp
have a reference to both "WPF Custom Control Library" and "WpfTestControls" assemblies?If you add that reference(s), the resources should load correctly.
My Steps...
TextBoxStyle.xaml
Generic.xaml
I have main starup project "MyWPFTestApp" that has assembly reference to
ThemesLibray
. In that the window hasThemesLibrary
resources merged this way....When I launch MyWPFTestApp, I see the Window with green TextBox.
