At last, it worked. Here is what I did, Went thru’ http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa970069.aspx. Changed the Uri pattern to var foo = new Uri(“pack://siteoforigin:,,,/resources/leaf_styles.xaml”, UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute); Application.Current.Resources.MergedDictionaries.Add(new ResourceDictionary() { Source = foo });
This is an optimization bug, see this link On the creation of every object in XAML, if a default style is present (i.e. style w/ a key of Type) that style should be applied. As you can imagine there are several performance optimizations to make that (implied) lookup a light weight as possible. One of … Read more
As far as I know, Interaction.Triggers can not be applied in Style, respectively and in a ResourceDictionary. But you can do so, to determine the ComboBox as a resource with x:Shared=”False” and reference it for ContentControl like this: <Window.Resources> <ComboBox x:Key=”MyComboBox” x:Shared=”False” ItemsSource=”{Binding Branches}” DisplayMemberPath=”BranchName” SelectedItem=”{Binding SelectedBranch}”> <i:Interaction.Triggers> <i:EventTrigger EventName=”SelectionChanged”> <i:InvokeCommandAction Command=”{Binding SelectCustomerCommand}” /> </i:EventTrigger> … Read more

A ResourceDictionary can have code behind just like Windows etc. so you could add an event handler and call DragMove from there Setting up the code behind requires a couple of steps. If your ResourceDictionary is called MetroStyleResourceDictionary.xaml you add a new file in Visual Studio in the same folder called MetroStyleResourceDictionary.xaml.cs The code behind … Read more
Direct answer to your question is “yes, you can define a binding as a resource”. The problem here is how do you then make any use of it? One possibility is to create an extension class which would pull the binding from the resources and apply it: public class BindingResourceExtension : StaticResourceExtension { public BindingResourceExtension() … Read more
Answered a similar question here earlier, see Adding a Merged Dictionary to a Merged Dictionary question. This is an optimization bug, see Microsoft Connect / DefaultStyleKey style not found in inner MergedDictionaries: On the creation of every object in XAML, if a default style is present (i.e. style w/ a key of Type) that style … Read more
Check out the pack URI syntax. You want something like this: <ResourceDictionary Source=”pack://application:,,,/YourAssembly;component/Subfolder/YourResourceFile.xaml”/>
