Question

Following image repesent that I want to.

*dgCommon classes has a no problem.

I want to share a xaml resource in CommonStyles directory. in Project 1, I added that xamls as ‘add as link’ options in file open dialog window.

the following is a solution view of Project 1.

It loaded well in design time. Because a window which using these resources were showing properly state in design time.

But I can’t run Project 1 due to Compile error. A compiler said that ‘can’t foudn \commonstyles\button.xaml”.

the following code is a the way to I load these resource xaml files.
(in App.xaml)

<ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>

    <ResourceDictionary Source="CommonStyles\Button.xaml" />

...

</ResourceDictionary>

this tag worked properly in past time. (the time I locate a xaml file in specified folder, instead ‘add to link’)

I can’t believe that there is a no simple solution for this issue.
I hope it just caused by my lack of googlibility.

How can I accomplish it?

Answer 1

Add as link doesn’t work quite well for xaml files. Try using a Pack URI to reference the file in the common dll:

<ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
    <ResourceDictionary Source="/CommonStyles;component/CommonStyles/Button.xaml" />
</ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
