c# - Access ResourceDictionary from another assembly in Code

Question

In my library I want to create TabItems in a method. The TabItems should use a Template which is defined in a ResourceDictionary in another assembly.

While searching for a solution I found the following code:

ResourceDictionary res = (ResourceDictionary) Application.LoadComponent(new Uri("BaseLib.WPF.Skinning;component/BaseStyles.xaml", UriKind.Relative));

If I execute the code I get a FileNotFoundException within the target-assembly. The assembly BaseLib.WPF.Skinning is added as reference to the project.

How can I access my ResourceDictionary from my code?

Answer 1

Try this:

`Application.LoadComponent(new Uri("pack://application:,,,/BaseLib.WPF.Skinning;component/BaseStyles.xaml")`

Uri need's String type argument ... http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.uri(v=vs.110).aspx
